It's as ridiculous as saying that someone being called a cnt isn't offensive because the person being called it "isn't actually a vagina"

no, you're wrong there. I've never said it's not offensive.. I'm saying it's not racist. There is a massive difference. Without prejudiced I believe you've fallen into my 'mind-reading category' given that you're basically suggesting you know how she meant it, and we've miss-interpreted it. Without actually giving any evidence of that it was intended in that manner. You're giving your opinion which you're completely entitle too, the same as everyone is.

Regarding your 2nd point, the word ***** is only as offensive as you take it. Personally for me, if someone was to call me a *****, I wouldn't be offended in the slightest, given that I would't give them the credit of having enough intelligence to form an opinion on me. So the same kinda point applies to this as to the 'ghetto' point. The word is only as 'offensive' as you interpret it.
