Good grief - I've been saying that for ages - Orwell understood the mechanics of it perfectly as well, when he wrote 1984.
In case anyone missed it, for the umpteenth time: The language you use is the language in which you think - if they can control your language they control your thinking and if they control your thinking they control your behaviour - which is why the PC Brigade while being a joke is also a serious problem.
What these people are doing is, by their own standards, offensive - it helps cause divisions within society and with division comes segregation and prejudice and inevitably - violence.
Thus, they are prosecutable for using language which could incite violence.
