Like I edited in above, not being able to talk down to black people anymore or call a person a "fag" or not being able to slap a woman on the ass in the work place like you could maybe 30 years ago is not facism. 

It's the majority of society deciding those are social norms that are no longer acceptable, because they are quite frankly asshole-ish. And you are even free to still do all of those things. No one is going to kill you for it. You just will have negative social repurcussions due to it most likely at some point or maybe an ass whupping depending on who you've insulted. And good riddance to bad rubbish. 

Really ? Then maybe I should test out how enlightened EVERY country is (or isn't for that matter). What is acceptable and what isn't is relative but you are far from being correct that offensive slurs with ethnic ties are not commonly used and that should be easily seen with the democratic party too who just take take them for granted instead of truly trying to humbly earn their support like the other parties are ... 

It starts out with censorship and the next thing before you know protests will be suppressed one way or another ...

Of course it's relative, but since you are presumably a citizen of the US and (presumably) wish to function socially in society, it's incumbent on you to understand the social norms of your time. 

There's probably some shit everyone's grandparents say that make their grandkids cringe ... because times change, and there are things that evolve. 

And you know what? That's generally a good fucking thing. 

Even for me, I grew up in the 90s, and there is shit that was commonplace to say and quite frankly I see teenagers today and I appreciate that they are more enlightened generally on a lot of things.
