bloody hell, I give up, the worlds gone mad, I dare to even write the word that was actually said and I am labeled a racist. Goodbye[n]

I (personally) have no problem with using an offensive word in the (journalist) reportage of an incident in which it was used, so - in context - I don't think your post is in itself offensive; but for the comfort and pleasure of our audience, certain words are in our auto-censor list to insure their inappropriate use isn't blasted out over the ether before a moderator can get to them.

The word in question here is - I understand - so severe, that its use in the US will lead to you getting fired from your job. We should respect and embrace the cultural reasons why including it in our posts (for any reason) is a big no-no.
