To be honest what is definitely needed here is clarity.
The most important factor is consistency, the rule was established, in a sense, to make it easier for administrators and for the server to prevent racism. If you ban all forms of it, whether RP or not, then at least you have a basis from which everyone can follow.
The problem with this is that it is then up to administrators, of which even they have different views and ideas on this matter, to decide what is used correctly and what is 'acceptable'.
If you ban all forms of racism, even words such as N__, which some people like to point out are not racist in themselves (Another topic, perhaps start that elsewhere) then at least you have a complete basis from which to work from that everyone understands.
Lets face it, there is no real need to be using words such as N__ or F__, if you have to use them then perhaps it is advisable to develop your vocabulary.
The most important thing here is consistency and by having that you avoid situations such as Filleh's ban request. Either all racism is banned, intentional or not, or you become a very liberal community and allow ALL forms of racism.
Ideally, you would want a system whereby everyone was mature enough to decide on where roleplay ends and racism starts, but unfortunately that cannot be found here. It is much simpler for everyone if you avoid using these words.
