I think people take it all too seriously. It annoys me how theres a different level of tollerance depending on who you insult though
Gay people and chinese people no one bats an eye lid really at least where i live i think, if i went to my city centre and shouted "you fucking gay chink" it would be pretty unlikely to cause much of an uproar, even in china town, but if i shouted "you fucking muslim nigger" im pretty sure EVERYONE would be just open mouthed with shock, i could be wrong though.
I think theres for some reason an order of certain people its more acceptable to insult than others, it probably looks a bit like this.
Most socially acceptable..christians, chinese, white people, disabled people, gay people, jewish people, pakistani people, muslims, black people....least socially acceptable
That isnt the definitive list, just from my local observations.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
