It's got to the point where you literally can't say anything without fear of being accused of offending someone, including commenting on this forum.
A lot of the time it's other being offended on behalf of other, or groups of other people who surely can speak for themselves.
My son has Pakistani friends from school who constantly refer to each other as Pakis and have a good laugh at it, the real problems occur when it is used as an insult and not in friendly jest.
The other day I walked past a policeman who was talking to a young teen, he was the kind of teen that includes the f work in every sentence, not because hes being abusive but because that's the way he talks within his group of friends.
The policeman threatened to arrest him under some public order section for using abusive language when he clearly was not being abusive towards anyone but simply talking in his language.
As for 'is Zelda racist', I don't know but I'm not sure about what you can and can't say any more for fear of offending someone which to me is a terrible way for society to be heading.
