Ok, so here's one for ya.
I could give examples but if you've spent more than 5 minutes here you'll have some idea.
Now someone makes a judgmental most often stereotypical (cliched) remark about religon or race, and they get "jumped" on faster than you can type p r e j u d i c e .
however, someone makes a derogatory remark about people based on something else for example gender and less specificly culture, and you could write an essay before 3 people have made any kind of protest.

I'm not suggesting that the "politcally correct" brigade need to tighten their scene, in fact i've had enough of them!
And it's places like this that point out a lot of the preposterous nature of their complaints about healthy debate, and use of regular language.

I guess my point is real simple
I witness:
You can diss for a person (or peoples) but if you mention race or religion, people will complain.
WHY?

You're arguement isn't as clear as you think, I'm guessing you want to know why for example we can talk about asian people but not vietnamese people. That's just not true.
First off, no one should generalize about any particular group, because it would only take a person five seconds to come up with the name of a famous person (Just as an example ) who doesn't fit that statement.
Generalizing is lazy thinking, plain and simple
don't be afraid of complexity people, it's where all the solutions are.
