There's no room for context? It's rigidly black or white, pardon the pun?
How about saying the word "######"? (the "n-word" as I assume the board will filter it) Obviously hugely racist in most circumstances, but is it too always racist whether intended to carry malice or not? Is my use of it now inherently racist? Is a professor racist if he uses it in a university class on race?
Context absolutely matters, let's not be silly.
