I don't see why people always talk about "freedom of speech" with topics like this. There's no freedom of speech issue here, people are free to say whatever they want - and face the consequences. In turn other people are free to feel offended.

"Freedom of speech" isn't the right to say whatever you want without repercussion, never has been.
