What's a more PC way to say that? Would it not mean the same thing though? We just end up speaking in euphemisms while saying the same thing. I feel language policing is ultimately pointless.

Language policing does have a point. Limiting your lexicon limits your thoughts.

No, it is ultimately pointless. If I stop saying nigger, will that change a thing about why niggers act in a way that makes me want to call them niggers? Nope. My use of the word does not stop them from acting the way do, which is why people call them niggers. You've got it backwards.
