Yeah, couldn't agree more.

I mean the world we currently live in, I can't say nigger because I'm white, but I can call a black man a wanker for the simple reason he's black, and so long as noone else knows my motive, it's ok, because I only called him a wanker.

The racism is not the word, it's the motive. Motives are often covert, so the moral crusaders go after the words instead, which are overt, to make them feel somewhat better about the sins of their ancestors.
