It's not semantic games, it's conceptual knowledge and reasoning.

How can one offend a group without offending the individual members of a
group?

If a negro calls other negroes the "N" word is that offensive?

I have two very close Jewish friends who, in general, dislike Jews. Yes,
they're both from New York. Are they racist? If I dislike Jews for the same
reason am I a racist?

The error in your reasoning is that you think everyone thinks like you and
you have no consistent standards of what is offensive.

I'm proud to say that I am not prejudiced. I strive to offend everyone
equally.

Amen!

Play all the semantic games you want. It's offensive, and anyone who does
it is a troubled person.

Can the same be said about murder?

If one is murdered it's ok?

If a vast group is, then it's not?

So how does one offend a group without offending the members
individually?

So you are prejudiced against minorities, especially the smallest one,
the individual?

No one cares if it offends you. The point is that it offends the vast
majority of a people.

Forget it Jon, all wops are like that!

Doesn't offend me in the least. Ever hear our rendition of the 3
little pigs?
They're cowering in brick pigs house when he makes a call. Instantly a
big limo
pulls up. Four big pigs get out, stomp the crap out of the wolf, put a
gun in
his mouth and blow the top of his head off. Then they get back into the
limo,
run over him a couple times, then drive off. Jeeze, says straw pig,
what was
that. Oh, just our cousins the guinea pigs ....
