Another thing. The next time you see a black person in the street say - hello ni**er. See how they respond. You're argument that racist terms are only offensive when used to cause offence has no merit what so ever.

That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is, if a racist term is used to cause offence, then the person who said it is racist, if it is not, they are not. The word is racist by definition, regardless of context, but that doesn't make the person who said it racist.

And I've stated that I don't think Emily is racist. Are you saying that she should have stayed in the house?
