In all seriousness one of the reasons I don't care for voice in MMOs or PSN or whatever is it's just a lot of insults and cussing and racial stuff and burping and farting. Text I can ignore but the annoying squirelly voice of a shut-in going on about teabagging and pwnage just makes my ears bleed.

Oh you know what else annoys me are those dumbasses who have voice operated microphones while playing MP3s through speakers.

..."burping and farting"..."teabagging and pwnage"..."insults and cussing"...you gotta get in a better corp M8 or stop playing with 12 year olds. 
I'm generalizing a bit. But a corp I was in my my earlier days was like that. I've since started my own and weeded out the preschoolers.

Generally, the best way to insure that someone repeatedly uses a word that offends you in Eve is to say you're offended by the word.

What?
I'm still uncomfortable when a black man asks for ISK.
And why is that?
He's just gonna buy Crash with it.

I think too many people get distracted by "Black people say it, why can't white people?" and don't realize that arguing one way or another is irrelevant.
Hip hop has a big cultural influence, especially on the young. The "n-word" is common in hip hop music. White kids, influenced by the culture of rap/hip hop, are getting more and more comfortable using the word casually. You can't impose a strong cultural influence on people and not expect them to adopt some of it.
So, yes, rap, not racism, is to blame for the revival of the n-word. That's probably something rappers should have thought of before they turned it into casual slang.
You can argue context all day, but put responsibility where it belongs.

What's your point? I never once argued that some people shouldn't use the word. I argued that some people run up against different contextual meanings that have to be dealt with. If lil wayne called me n***** that's different than if david duke called me n*****.
Regardless, the reality is this: the more you use the word in casual conversation and art the more acceptable it becomes for everyone to use. It becomes "normal" slang.
If you don't want to hear it, stop using it and eventually it'll become taboo again.
