Word are harmless. Let me know the last time a word physically injured anyone.
I am not responsible for how you feel about yourself. You are responsible for that, you have the power to allow someone's actions to hurt your feelings or you can laugh it off. I guess if you are ok with giving others power over you then you will have that problem.

I agree that Huckabee would have been better off not saying it, but is it really racism if it's a mostly true statement?

Blatantly untrue. Even the Supreme Court does not take such a lax approach to speech.
I'll bet anything that if I said certain things about, say, your wife and children, there would be enormous potential for harm--for both of us.
