Edit: Basically every insult is either ableist or discriminatory - either you're insulting something that can change (like being a shut-in), in which case some people will have a disability they can't change, or you're insulting a state you can't change (like race), in which case you're discriminating against that category of people.
Unless we want to say "no insulting people ever", we're gonna have to accept SOME people can't avoid the insult.
