Should we get them to do interpretive dance and gain their opinion of people by that?
Oh c'mon, you're completely misinterpreting his point there plumb. Someone using the (I'm not going to use it for the sake of being judged) N word doesn't automatically make them a racist. It all depends on context.
Indeed context is key and I do like to think that by banning words you give them power BUT in anything else but discussions on use of that word when would it really be ok?
That word has one use and that is to insult a group of people who have expressed anger at the use of the word.
