Show respect for race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual preference

Is "you should be killed for your sexual predilection" respectful? How far can one go before this guideline is broken? Where is the line? If not at promoting genocide, what? Torture advocacy?

You've already broken it, probably.

Obviously saying someone should be killed because of who they are is ridiculous and not respectful.

Oh, so now the mods take action against discriminatory action?
I remember a while back they did nothing.

What the fuck mods?

I think that we need to decide what exactly this guideline means, and how it fits in with how we are currently enforcing rules.

My understanding is that it is considered to be any material that works only to demean, degrade and insult a group of people.  It isn't inherently discriminatory to make an argument for specific practices, as long as there content there to justify such a belief besides "I hate them".  

As an example, there would be nothing wrong with a post arguing that the use of "nigger" should not be stopped; however a post made simply to use the slur would be deleted.  

Essentially, it's a matter of context.
