Anyone trying to justify this by people shouldn't be offended is either too stupid to understand the point or deliberately trying to give intollerent people a safe space to air their views.

Certain differing opinions deserve to be shouted down, if your opinions keep getting shouted down maybe you're not an outspoken genius, you're just a twat.
at one point the Church burnt heretics at the stake. Are you suggesting that the heretics, such as Galileo (who was placed under house arrest) who advocated science over religion were wrong?

Again I will state that we have laws to stop the promotion of bigotry and hatred, laws that can remove an individuals liberty via the justice system. This is the correct approach. however, we have moved so far away from that system its at a point where someone using the term coloured is pressured into leaving his job.
