Naturally, not to be outdone in the black and white department, the anti-PC crowd developed its own excesses and its own unreasonableness, but I don't know what you mean by "championing the use of serious racial slurs as counter to PC. Perhaps you could flesh that out for me.

I was thinking of instances on my own campus in which racial and sexual slurs pasted on dorm room doors occurred. We had, at least once a year, some sort of beating of an openly gay male.

The campus PC crowd found themselves in the awkward situation of defending these actions as permissible.

If a campus wishes to foster an atmosphere of civility they are indefensible.

These aren't instances of free speech in my book; they are instances of racial and/or sexual harassment.

Does that help?
