“Personally, I like calling people acting stupidly “fruitcakes.””
That leaves you open to being called anti-homo.
If you allow speech to be defined as offensive by those taking offense, you restrict freedom of speech to that acceptable to the most sensitive. When speaking against affirmative action is racist, it’ll be because of people like you who think there’s something okay with allowing offense at descriptive words to have political consequence. It’s like you never heard the old saying that starts with “Sticks and stones.”
What’s wrong with the old term, moron?
