It would be unconstitutional in the US to ban it, the question or comment thread is not about being illegal to use the word..

The issue the social pressure against these terms, and the ever changing landscape one political segment of the population has in being forever offended by everything



> one political segment of the population has in being forever offended by everything

Which segment is that?


It's certainly not unconstitutional for organizations to ban words. It's happening every day at major tech companies.


This entire comment thread should be a master class in logical fallcies as every reply shifts the goal posts back and forth....

Which i suspect is the end goal as that way no one actually have to address the underlying issues of compelled / socially enforced speech and the ongoing attacks on free expression on top of the ever shrinking mental health of the population has society coddles people into believing everyone else has to manage an individuals mental health instead of having to harden your own mind and come to terms with the fact the life is rarely fair, kind, nor do people (nor should) about your "feelings"
