This is a can of worms. Perhaps the thread is best off in WA&F after all.

How is that a loophole? If the words are used entirely with a humorous intent and no actual racism is involved....where's the problem?
What if I used words that I make up on the spot, with racist intent? Am I still being a racist? (I happen to think so, yes) If I'm being a racist without using any of the regualr "racist words"...then it can't be the words themselves that are the problem, can it?
I'll say it again, in bold: it's the intent that matters, not the words.
As with everything on this forum, it comes down to the discretion of the moderator who reads the post. The world isn't black and white (no pun intended...) and we can't simply say "ok these words are bad and you can't use them no matter what the context". If we did, people would just use different words

That's a big "if" - you aren't black, are you?
Stop speaking for other people. If a black guy reads this it's his choice whether he gets offended or not - not yours.

trendal got it on this one. Words are just words. A person that's not big enough to not be offended by words needs to grow up.
Wiccan_Seeker - I'm offended that you would even suggest I started this thread for the sole purpose of saying the words. If I want to say them, I'll say them. I don't need a special thread for it. Now, kindly stop trolling. It is fairly obvious your intent is to turn this thread into something it's not so it will be dumped. For shame.

Well, from what this thread turned into it could easily have been seen as a joke thread in which you pushed the limits of a rule.

Naw, the worms can't breathe inside a can! In my experience they usually come in one of those non-biodegradable styrofoam cups

But if it wasn't the sole purpose, what would your intended purpose of this thread be?

You do too much drugs. Always looking for meaning behind things. I was simply asking if colored was allowed. That's it. No scandalous sub-plot here.
Now I come to find nigger, kike, shine monkey and all the other funny ones are allowed as well. Worked out better than expected.

Remember, once again, that it is all about context...and how that context is taken is at the discretion of whatever mod reads your post.
I said I don't care about mere words...but if you are going to use that as an excuse to drop the n-bomb all over the Pub you should re-think your decision 
I'm going to lock this thread now, as the original issue (the question of use of words) has been answered.
