But hiding offensive words makes them more powerful, doesn't it? Our grandparents hating being called a wop, or dago, and feared hearing it on order of n-----. I've always been amused by those words; it no longer has power. In the end, its the harm the slur thrower can cause, be it physical or economic which is scary, not the slur.
