This is the first I’ve heard of such ordinances, I’ll admit.

The Supreme Court, in Snyder v. Phelps, upheld our constitutional right to brandish signs that read “God hates fags” or “God hates America” at a gay soldier’s funeral, so I think it unlikely that substituting a different epithet (perhaps a common variation of “Negro”) would render similar speech unconstitutional. Then again, there’s a reason I’m not a Supreme Court justice.
