I suspect you have seen it and just don't recognize it. If group X can insult group Y and Y is forbidden from insulting X, is that going to make Y get along with X? Or, will it mean that X insults Y a lot disposing Y negatively towards X?
I don't think the problem is going to be Asian people calling white people "cracker" while they tour Asia. I think the problem is going to come from young white men getting irritated by demonstrably unfair treatment. They will live online with hypocritical rules where people are allowed to insult them for their race and gender and they are punished for returning the favor. This, in turn, will encourage at least some of them towards racism.
Ultimately, it's just not a reasonable thing for Facebook to do. What benefit is there in preserving racism and sexism against men? I think it makes sense to ban racist and sexist things, but why make a special carve out to permit it against specific groups?
