There is an old Italian proverb that says: "We are always very liberal with other people problems and conservative with our own". I guess that your first reaction for words like "nigger", "paki" and so forth won't be very positive and you will feel immediately offended and tempted to cancel and censor this message. So it seems that people are stupid as long as they censor the words you "don't like" and intelligent when they don't censor what you think is appropriate. The same old world... It is interesting, on the other hand, to notice that all this mess about what we could and could not say comes really from the "politically correctness" introduced by the left wing. Politically correctness used to silently and slowly changing people perception/ideas about important issues (basically a brainwashing). For example, in the last ten years in many of the UN documents the word "family" has been substituted by more "neutral" terms to avoid naming it explicitl (the reasons being many and we can discuss them).
