It's like having to explain to a 5 year old why pointing out the scars on that mans face is not polite. Or why that lady is so short. Children, who are curious, and are developing filters learn from adults. I'm willing to bet the people tossing around the word "censorship" who are parents have experienced this.

I bet they use words like "polite" and "nice". I'm also willing to bet they don't want their children growing up and tossed in jail for hate crimes.
