Offense isn't a good argument, I agree. It means nothing.
Question is how far you can go with stereotyping people / using slurs and insults.
Those morons you get on the Nolan show complaining about THE GAYS are the majority and often part of the mainstream churches who have done their best to keep LGBT rights down.
Now IF and WHEN things should be aired with a warning or removed, I think that discussion should also be had with the group involved. I just have a little more sympathy with it being on the receiving end of the Brexit shitshow, suddenly you see what it is like to be the minority and singled out.
Maybe adapting TV programs does little, and the news is really THE worst offender (black people are in gangs, polish people are stealing your job bla bla) but that I am not sure about, haven't read any papers on that.
Just have to hope this isn't a sticker plaster on a leaking pipeline and it doesn't do anything much.
