As there is extreme bigotry, there is extreme anti-bigotry.
I've bet you've noticed that words that were and are used for bigoted comments towards a minority are being used by the minorities themselves.
The minority group gets away with this, however, if someone out of the minority says it, they are automatically deemed "bigots", whether they are or aren't.
For example, let's say there were a purple-colored race.
In thier history, they were often called "grapes".
So, years later in present day were bigotry has calmed down just a little, there are a group of purple-colored people talking, calling eachother "grapes".
Then when a person that is not purple-colored says it without any sort of bigoted intension, they are ranted at for being bigoted.

The question is, what are your thoughts on this?
Is a minority not bigoted if they use thier own bigoted origin term to address each other?
Real-life examples of this:
("The n word" - Africans)
("The f word" - Gays)
("A word that involves beans" - Hispanics)
*note that these words are not meant to offend, and are censored for a reason, these are here mearly to remind people replying of what some actual examples are that don't involve theoretical purple-people.
*PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
notice how my opinion on this matter has not been even so much as uttered in this post, so please don't go assuming I'm whining about not being able to say certain words. That isn't even my opinion on it, anyway.
