While I am a little surprised by some of the words on the list, as a WEIRD [1] white hetero male I do not think my opinion on some of the terms is earned.

What I would really like to know, however, is if people from various backgrounds have been consulted. If not, the authors of that list have fallen to the very same fallacy I described: only a person of background X should have the right to decide whether an expression is hateful or otherwise undesirable towards group X. If this is not the case, we get this [2] kind of hypocrisy.
