That's easy. One attracts trolls, causing multi page posts. The other will likely get your thread locked, and possibly you banned. Therefore, the former causes more drama. Can't have much drama in a locked thread :)

Yeah that's two questions really. More offensive? The latter. More controversial? The former. As Tsukasa noted, the controversy dies quickly in a locked thread.

Oh that's not such an easy one to answer either. Right now the question seems to be not only what is it, but which one is the real one. I'd say do a search, but you'll look at it all and go "I'm not reading through all that"!

Here's a current thread, which will probably tell you as much as you care to know: /148/a2/114154/1.html

But is Neualtenburg the most controversial? I don't think it has enough broad appeal/concern to hold that title. A few people are very passionate about it, a few more like to read on in amusement/interest/wonder, but more probably go what are you guys talking about and I'm not sure I understand enough to care, nor care enough to understand,.

A city full of black/ignorant alts? Interesting. :)

Racist 'n' word definition: ignorant person.

Think about that when it come to rappers or urban youth saying 'my n...'.
