Some degree of political correctness is necessary in order to maintain a prosperous social structure. But, it's difficult to walk the fine line between regulation, and censorship. On the smaller scale, I think disparaging remarks are less critical to a culture when made by the every day man, and as such it's hard to say explicitly that these people can't say this, or that. But, on a larger scale, these remarks have the potential to sway entire nations, and as such need to be regulated to some degree.

Side note, if I see "Freedom of speech" as a defense for bigotry one more time, I'll lose my fucking shit.
