Acting like they have the superiority over words when they don't know the history behind the person who said them is a very bad thing indeed, and it'll just lead to more arguments. If someone confronts me angrily about me using a certain word, I'll make sure to tell them that I wasn't aware it would cause them offense, since it's a word I've been using all my life.
It doesn't take much to simply ask someone not to use those words. I don't see any benefit in getting angry over it.
Ha! Reminds me of the following video. (If it's too offensive, I am sorry. I will gladly remove it.)
