Equality however does not extend to only those who have endured hardships or mistreatment. When the "=" sign is used it means exactly that. If you are going to be mindful enough to not offend any one group then the same should apply to all groups. Even those that a person doesn't care for.

The underlined is precisely my point. If you start removing each and every item to make each and every group happy you will inevitably end up with nothing on your plate.

Take an ordinary meal for example:
Vegans want the meat out
Diabetics want the carbs and sugars out
Elderly cant handle the spices
Children do not want the vegetables
You can see where I am going with this....

At some point you have to look at all of the above groups and say "if you do not like it, do not eat it". Left to my wife she would cook 3 separate meals, when I intervene things just get pushed to the side of the plate. Humans are amazingly adept to dealing with adversity as long as they do not start relying on someone to do it for them.

The only true equality is when no one is catered to and everyone must deal with how they feel about each others expressions on their own. But this all boils down to the misinterpretation of the First Amendment doesn't it? The First Amendment prevents prosecution for expression but protects persecution because persecution is speech and a form of expression.

A person can not be jailed for saying negative things about the Government and the person that will inevitably call him an idiot is protected as well... Its a beautiful thing.

Poor form has never been illegal.

And I agree with you. Yet, why not extend the same courtesy to Native Americans we extend Jewish and African Americans? Because the other alternative, the "unslurring" of such words as kike, ******, chink, spic, etc. that's not going to happen any time soon. Either all or none the asterisks
