This is a great topic!
Who cares! Like many have said, people need to toughen up a little bit. You know I meet a few black people here and there and I've never said anything to my friends that I haven't said to the black guys I've met. Sure, I say some insesitive shit sometimes, but I say it about everyone. In general, I'm an asshole. I don't care who you are, I don't think you can hide behind your sensitivity to your racial/sexual issues. More specifically, if you're gay, I don't think you get to be off limits because you're afraid of me bringing up gay shit. If you're stupid I'm certainly going to call you on that.
It works both ways though. I think the golden rule is that if you're going to go to the trouble to say something offensive, you better be funny about it. And not just offensive for the sake of calling someone a slur, but legitimate humor.
Anyone can say anything they about me, as long as it's funny then I'm fair game too.
