And it doesn't help that certain music genres use of such rasicts words (also sexist if you want, different versions of racial slur), it makes does in fact make people less and less aware of how much insult and harm by just saying those words can do.

yet again, that's just how I see it...
Right, but Richards is 58. I think older people, him included, are VERY aware of the seriousness of the word and how much of an insult it is.
