You have missed the point completely. UK isn't good but even given how bad you think it is, doesn't tolerate the slurs mentioned (the whole point of the post). I speak about it because I live here and I'm shocked people even debating that these words are fine.

What miraculous country are you from that is so free from racism?

In a nutshell, I've said these words not cool here and your contribution is effectively "your racist country is so bad. Don't talk". Not the most helpful contribution ever. Who hurt you?
