The benefit of writing rather than speaking is that you can hit delete before you print. It also lets you spell the word, and especially if the word sounds very similar to another one that is deemed offensive depending on the context of use. That may not have mattered in this instance since it seems to be possible to read the mind of speaker.
As the world changes and things we never considered are now enough to get you fired, well consider them or pay the price. This is a simple reality that continues to hurt those that step out of the box. As a teacher consider this or you may find yourself explaining your words and actions. As a writer there is simply no taking it back since you are supposed to have the foresight to know what is in the mind of the reader.
