I suppose if one was constantly in seek of approval from others they may care.
Its not about approval. It's about thinking you have the right.
Why is race the thing that you would single out to degrade. Only uneducated idiots do that, because THEY KNOW, that it will draw blood. It is intentional. It is not a mistake, unless you have been in the woods your whole life.
If you are using a corporate station and are governed by the FCC, you have a responsibility not to make insensitive and racist comments. It's not censorship because it is not your station. It's just a show that you were hired to perform.
there are rules just like any other place that you work.
the fact that it's not subscription and available on the public airwaves of the United States of America, makes you accountable for what you say about other citizens.

You don't have a right to express yourself on someone else's dime, using their platform, resources and license. That's like saying you have a right to come to my house and download spy ware, because it came from your email address.
When you are using someone else's shit, you don't have any "rights".
