Doesn't matter, everyone is entitled to be offended by anything, what we are questioning is a word deemed to be racist but not it would seem by everyone.
Personally i think it matters a huge amount, if the very people that the word was intended to offend, arent offended, anyone else is getting bent out of shape for nothing!
No one is debating its not a racist slur, it is, but you even say yourself, its in the context !
And your right, everyone is entitled to be offended by anything, but as Stevo D quotes Stephen Fry, its nothing more than a whine these days, especially when you are not the subject of the offending comment!!
Yeah not dissagreeing I think the whole thing is a grey area (amusingly a mix of black & white)
When I said it doesn't matter I meant that's how things are, not that I lile it that way
