I think putting a block on racism just creates an unnecessary domino effect. Like Satty said, if you're going to ban one form of hatred then you should ban other forms as well. Why should one form be banned but not the other? If we can't make racist jokes, then we probably shouldn't be allowed to make sexist jokes or jokes directed at someone's sexuality. Hell, before you know it, there will be a rule against making jokes about mentally handicapped people, and I see people calling each other " " around here a lot.

It sucks that that kind of stuff exists, but guess what, I've seen plenty of people turn it around and make the other guy look silly.
