Excellent! A good strike against PC: By simple logical extension, all the synonymic expressions, previously thought of as derogatory, now are to be seen as OK.

How true! The judge realized that the diversity crowd has painted itself into a corner.

The judge is a lefty; she's a leading painter from the diversity crowd! The synonyms may or may not still be actionable, because they're nasty (and because leftwing judges are hypocrites), but I guarantee you that this judge and her comrades will not be consistent and throw out hate-crime designations, anymore than they have done so regarding race-based "hate crimes."
