Please understand one thing about my views, I do not recognize hyphenated Americans. One very small example of why is that it is used incorrectly and ignorantly. When Theresa Heinz Kerry said she was African-American the black community was up in arms because she was white. Africa is a country, not a race. She was born in Maputo Mozambique and also qualifies for all scholarships designated for African-Americans.

On your reply and Why? Two separate reasons.

1. You can't selectively protect the groups you want to protect. You protect all or none. See below how it applies to your question.

2. Jewish is an ethnoreligious group and not a race, people from Israel are Israelites, or Israelis. Protect one religion and you have to protect them ALL. Including Pastafarians <--- you open the gates for people to start making things up and since it's based on belief or feeling you can't disprove it.

There are 4 races:
1) Mongoloid.
2) Caucasoid.
3) Negroid.
4) Australoid

The Klan and White Supremacists are groups also, do you want to extend legislation to protect them from being offended? I don't.

We are now full circle back to protecting 7Bn opinions. Everyone has one and they all vary.

The reason you can not unslur those words is because you cannot legislate culture. Personally I find chewing food with the mouth open offensive, any scholarship based wholly or partially on race/creed/ or ethnic background offensive. There is no needed for legislation to effect either. If someone wants to eat like an animal, let them. If a bigot of any race wants to use their money to support their race, it's their business. If a private Country Club is all white or a Black Miss America pageant is all black, so be it. It may seem I have wandered off topic but I haven't, in a misguided effort to remove racial barriers there can't morally be any all white but all black is acceptable and promoted. That my friend is not equality.
