Which of your points have I not dealt with?

I see you've accused me of exaggerating, but that's rich coming from someone who thinks that non-white people have this other-worldly ability to suffer something more than hurt feelings when verbally insulted, but you can't seem to explain exactly what that is. If it's not hurt feelings and it's not physical pain then what is it? Is there some middle ground between the two that white folk haven't evolved the ability to feel?

Also, you keep going on about these "huge historical connotations" and sure, no one can deny they had a shit time historically with slavery at the hands of white men but you act as though every black person that's ever been insulted immediately has a flashback to being whipped by Masser at the plantation, followed by a week-long montage of them sitting outside Bristol harbour contemplating their heritage, then tipping a 40 on Martin Luther King's grave whilst reflecting on their place in modern society.

As anyone who has worked on a building site for any length of time will attest, you hear all kinds of sexist, racist, ageist banter all day long, if it was taken as seriously as you seem to think it's supposed to then nothing would ever get built in this country and half the brickies, sparks and chippies in Britain would be in the dock.

I've been called every Welsh slur under the sun by English co-workers but thankfully I'm able to distinguish their intent and I'm also able to recognise that they aren't the same individuals that perpetrated the thousand-year long oppression and murder of countless of our countrymen, who exploited and killed Welsh workers, flooded our valleys and towns to make their reservoirs, punished the children who dared to speak their own language and endless more atrocities.

Needless to say, my history and feelings don't matter to the PC crowd and it's absolutely because of my skin colour. I'm not trying to court sympathy for that by the way, just once again pointing out (and this has gone ignored by you a few times already) that it's the exact kind of discriminatory behaviour that the politically correct claim to abhor yet consistently live by.
