 *Jeebus on the drama, you drama-lovers.  Who cares if we call it hate speech, an epithet, or a pet name?  If we call it ""hate speech,"" then wikipedia is filled with speech which fits that definition.  See, e.g., Parents Music Resource Center, where rap lyrics are quoted which called Tipper Gore a ""dumb bitch,"" complete with explanation that ""Tipper Gore is the only woman I ever directly called a bitch on any of my records.""  We are not children on Wikipedia and we do not censor.  Hilton's ""dumb bitch"" quote reflects poorly primarily on him, and the gravity of the shitstorm which was caused is best conveyed if we don't censor it.   I understand we have an honest debate going on here about article content, and people I think can reasonably disagree without being evil.  "
