It always disappoints me how many people are far happier to assume someone is being something-ist than to give them the benefit of the doubt and put it down to a mere bad choice of words. If a comment is made that could be interpreted as racist, sexist, homophobic etc then the assumption is 'guilty until proven innocent'.
