I couldn't disagree more. Even if Chris Rock just called someone a cracker in anger.... nobody would care. Not because of double standards, but because there just isn't a sufficent history there to bug people. Being called a cracker isn't essentially being equated to property.
You can't get rid of something like sexism or racistm without getting rid of sexist and racist actions and words. Which means your going to get angry and specific things with racist and sexist commments. Therefore clearly you are going to get more upset at things which have more context to them, and completely blow off stuff that doesn't make sense or has little context.

I'm going to step off the topic of the thread (sexism) to respond to this.
Thank you, Kasz. You should be proud of yourself. Your ignorance and double standards with regards to racism is something so much of our society seems to hold, and it is the reason I grew up as a child and was ridiculed, looked down upon, and made fun of for my skin color. In a society that praises dark, tanned skin, I was a "ginger." A completely "pale skinned" boy that certain people loved to make fun of. I was so distraught over my skin and my hair that I absolutely hated going to the beach because I knew I stood out, and I hated going to school every day because certain people would make fun of me for my hair, for my skin. And no one would stand up for me, because I was white and no one saw that I could be hurt by racial comments as well.
But it's okay, right? I'm white! I have nothing to complain about. History's on my side! LOL, how fucking ridiculous is that. I don't give a fucking shit about history. I give a shit about how people treat ME, NOW, in the present. And I've heard way too many people laugh at me and call me "ginger." I've heard way too many people demeaningly point out my white skin. And you know what? No one fucking stands up for me. No one gets those kids in trouble. You know why? Because it seems most people are like you. Most people hold dobule standards with racism and believe that it's only bad against blacks.
Well Kasz, fuck you. Fuck you and your double standards to hell. People like you made my childhood a regretful experience. Go ahead and ban me, I don't even give a shit right now.
