As I have already explained, most people are horrified when it's pointed out that they are being offensive. They immediately apologise and make amends.

The law is there to deal with those who carry on being offensive on purpose or who do it out of malice.

Most issues are resolved by having a word with the offenders (in fact, any resultant court case will expect the aggrieved person to have tried to sort things out informally first).

Legal action is considered as a last resort solution, so it's imperative that anyone experiencing discrimination, less favourable treatment, failure to make adjustments etc keeps records and evidence in case things cannot be resolved amicably.
As I stated most people aren't out to cause upset to anyone. They may simply not understand someone's predicament or how a certain illness affects them. Especially if it's not physical.

You can't be looking to report everyone and take legal action because someone says something unkind.there really is no reason for formal or informal action against every random person in the street. In the workplace of course it would be different.

You do seem to go looking for reasons to annoy and aggravate people.
