I meant that participants of this thread aren't advocating censorship afaik, but point taken.

The most obscene thing about Lenny Bruce's words is that, over 40 year since his death, they're still every bit as relevant, "edgy" and rebellious as they were when he was still alive; and every bit as prone to suppression by self-appointed morals police.

Would it be a 'racial epitaph' if you ended up dead after using the wrong word in the wrong place?

No, that's what happens to my auto-correct when it changes a word without me noticing.
