As for the first point, I would never, say, call a black/African American person a nigger. I just wouldn't (I'm white, btw). At the same time, I don't particularly like "cripple". I grew up "disabled", and now we are "PWD"s, which I kind of had to get used to, but have. So, I get it.
On the second point, I'd have thought it was atheists that would be pigeonholed as being more prone to taking this kind of offense. We're pigeonholed as being the "librulz".
