Racism and sexism aren't phantom threats people made up in a vast conspiracy just to make it slightly harder for you to get an office job maybe.


The actual measure doesn't carry any weight of law, which is the only reason it's not flagrantly unconstitutional. The city council of New York decided that passing a law that carries no penalty but strongly speaks out against the use of the word nigger will make teenagers less likely to use it. It can be inferred that no one on the city council of New York has ever met or been a teenager.
