So, we define racism is bad in the Social Coontract, and claim all is well and good in the world.

Until someone goes gay-bashing, and gets off because it's not explicitly against the rules. So we outlaw that one, too, and pat our selves on the back.

Until someone starts slagging on skinheads. Or single parents. Or women. Or mentally disabled. Or military veterans. Etc. Etc. Etc...

Or, we could just send this dude a friendly reminder from his fellow players about being more careful in his choice of words, remind him that we're all friends and that we all just like to have fun, and we all go back to playing the game, without having to hire lawyers to write us a 74 page Social Contract.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
