OOOOOOOOOWWEEEEEE!
what an ugly subject. anecdotally similar to a conversation I recently had about saying derogatory slang about other people. Apparently there are some derogatory words people arent supposed to say but others are ok because the affected group isnt up in arms.
Is it the offended or offender in the wrong?

I don't think norms about politeness are comparable to expert public health recommendations.
I think thats the point of the article ... the 'norms about politeness' guide expert opinions rather than the science.
