Why not just stop performing the song if it’s so horrible? Of course I know the point is to lecture, not to avoid offense. “Hermaphrodite” is still safe enough to say though. I dare an white artist to try the same thing with “nigger.”
It’s odd, because it isn’t even a slur, in most cases…
Or where it is, it’s not a regularly used one.
I guess you could argue that in the song it is being used as a “slur”, but if that’s the case… He can’t really sing any of them anymore, for fear of offending someone, somewhere…

It’s just so fucking ridiculous, I can’t even.
