Even when it's deragatory?

You don't see how how being called a letter box because you wear a burka wrong?

However none of those examples you just gave are deragatory apart from the burka one.

So you're basically saying we can call people what we want as long as it's factually correct? We can go around calling people fat and disabled because it's factually correct? Even though it may cause extreme offence.

Absolutely ridiculous attitude you have.
