Otherwise we should mail Wikipedia to delete the following page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger . And a bunch of movies and music while we're at it.

Also, what about the term 'faggot'. Gay people have been discriminated for years (so there's a history involved). People don't usually shit their pants when they hear that world.

Racial slurs are forbidden on the servers though (which I agree with), so you can just report the people who use it on the forum.

I'll use an example for this one.

When you hear people calling someone the n word(the real term), it's clear there's intent to insult somebody. You don't just call someone the n word for fun, because there's no real alternative to the meaning. However, when you hear someone call another a f*****, you're not necessarily implying that the person is a homosexual. As Louis C.K the comedian said, "I didn't call someone a f***** for being gay. I called them a f***** because.. well, he's a f*****."

The word used to insult homosexuals did not originate from anything related to them until it was later agreed upon that it best suited them because of the fact that so many of them were burned on a stake for their personal preferences. <--- (There's some history behind this one).
^ This word has so many differing meanings to it that it's wrong for you or anybody to say that it's only meant to be used for homosexuals.
