In all seriousness, we have to move beyond this permanent ostracizing of people for using a word that is deemed offensive.
Do we really want to live in a society where people are 'wished into the cornfield' and deemed unable to ever make a living again over uttering a word? How about just issuing an apology, making a donation to a charity and moving on?
On the flip side of this; an actual elected official in Minnesota can show up in a suburban neighborhood with a bullhorn outside of the home of a police union chief and use threatening, racial invective towards him, his family and towards all of the white residents in the town with no consequences whatsoever.
