The discussion amply demonstrates that there are taboo words in different cultures, and that they may differ even when there is a common language.
But are there really any taboo words in Esperanto (racist or otherwise)?
It is sometimes said that Esperanto is a language without culture. The existence of taboo words in Esperanto might be a counter-argument. How could a language without culture have taboo words?

sudanglo:But are there really any taboo words in Esperanto (racist or otherwise)?That is a fascinating question that puzzles me as well.
But I don't think having taboo words is a positive trait in any language. It usually stands for a dark past.
Also, the fact that it has no culture shouldn't be something necessarily bad.
