Do we really want a world where people were stoned for uttering a silly childhood rhyme with no ill will intended just because the word has since been deemed unacceptable as it can be used in a racist way.

No. We want a world where people are (metaphorically) stoned for deliberately choosing a silly racist rhyme with the intent of titillating their target audience, then experimenting to ascertain exactly how far they can go and still get away with it.

I can't see/hear anything other than a freudian slip (at worst), no stoning for me, metaphorically, or otherwise.
