I don't really get it.
If one wishes to be rude, abusive or insulting to someone, on the basis of their membership of some minority, one has the whole English language to work with.
It's a playground tradition to find creative new ways to be a nasty little shit, while technically complying with the letter of the rules.
Banning a particular word doesn't take away the human impulse to express insult to others, it merely accelerates the rate at which the language of insults evolves.
