Don't you see, the PC brigade have restricted language to the point that context doesn't matter anymore. Even if you say something in context, it will now only be taken out of context, on its own.
It doesn't matter what context it was used in, Carol repeating the word Ron used could have caused offence to viewers hence the warning from BB, they weren't saying Carol was being racist by quoting Ron but there was still no need for her to repeat something that caused offence to a lot of people.
