Why is the word 'negro' any more offensive than the word 'caucasian' or 'hispanic'? After all, they are all just terms used equally in official places such as on ethnic background forms to describe racial types, they are not slang words.

If you outlaw 'negro' why not outlaw them all equally? Or better still - not outlaw any of them at all as we do need words to help describe and categorise ourselves and the world around us. But either way - good or bad - surely they should all be treated equally, no?

It seems to me rather racist to select one racial type over another for discrimination.
