You misinterpret my words. I said the attitude towards such words is somewhat more relaxed than other places, and thus their use is more common than in other places. I did not imply that discrimination does not exist, nor did I imply the words are thrown around with reckless abandon. Now, seeing as people insist on continuing this argument, let me reiterate...

In short, everyone shut up and stop posting. Continuing to argue only makes people appear petty and immature, and that applies to people on both sides.
