The substituting words shite doesn't work because every time you substitute something it eventually becomes offensive too. For example, negro to colored to black to African American. Honestly you should just not put so much stock into words, especially when people don't use them to intentional offend anyway.

First of all, I hate the word offend. It seems that any time someone doesn't like something, he's "offended." I don't buy that.
For something to truly offend you, it has to get at the heart of your most sacred beliefs and deride those things you hold most dear.
That said, when I read this quote:
... I wondered, in what context would someone be calling someone a retard, where he wasn't trying to insult the other person?
Just seems odd.
