I was actually using "incense cones" as a euphemism. *wink* Sorry you're going to the hospital. That sucks. I don't disagree with you entirely about racial issues being overly sensitized, and in my experience, it's been made more of an issue by white people. I think there are lots of folks who are scared of being seen as anything but diplomatic and have taken on an air of uber-political correctness to overcompensate. Now, I don't think that racial slurs are ever appropriate, and I would knock someone on their ass if they called my mixed kids something derogatory. However, I also find that outwitting a racist piece of shit highly satisfying.
When I went back to college my senior year, my old boyfriend from junior year saw my (then) new boyfriend, who was from Sri Lanka originally. When he later saw me alone, he said, "What the hell is wrong with you? You left me to go be with some sand n---er?" I could have cussed him out, but really, that's what people do when they have no savvy or frontline defense. Instead, I looked at him with disgust and said, "You are not only a loser, a lousy lay, and a racist, but you're geographically incorrect. He's not a sand n---er, he's from the jungle, not the desert. He doesn't ride around on camels, he rides elephants. Your college education has really failed you. Have your parents seek reimbursement from the Finance Department." And off I went.
When I lived overseas, I was in the minority. People had definite opinions about "Americans" and such. Most of them were kind to me and would ask me about things that they assumed to be true, so it gave me a chance to educate them. However, there was a drunk motorcycle cop, outside the hospital where my SIL was having her second baby, who called me a "white bitch" because I shook my head as he stumbled along the entranceway. Well, this white bitch's husband removed said cop from his motorcycle that he was walking down the lane, and almost put him through a tree. Word gets around very fast on a tiny island, and that sort of thing never happened to me again. They may have thought it, but they never said it within earshot. 
Now, back on topic... let's see a show of hands from the men: Who goes down?
