Unfortunately, as long as one refers to these groups as "Jews" or "blacks" instead of using derogatory racial or religious slur names when you write about them, the piece still falls into the ignorant and offensive but not banned category. Blacks have chosen to be referred to themselves that way; it is the word that thay prefer.

I do take objection to this statement: "If Cyprian's racial slur is changed to a race they allegedly care about, how does it sound?

It assumes two things that I personally find insulting--that liberals do not really care care about blacks, or Jews.
