Your logic is quite flawed. "Nigger" was completely acceptable to a large majority of the population when I was growing up. Right or wrong, an observable fact. I guess if we let that be our standard for discourse, it would still be used to describe about 15% of our population and would still be perfectly appropriate for TV too.

Funny how easy it is to justify harmful stereotypes when they are applied to someone else.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
