Maybe it was wrong but we’ve always used slang terms to refer to various ethic groups. We definitely used the term “Jap” during WWII. I’ve used quite a few terms myself not with hate but just because I can and want to, but usually not in public.

The journalist was trying to make a cute pun. Lighten up.

I object to the double standard of which ESPN is a prominent example.

Many of you seem to think racism is funny. I don’t and think those who do are scum and lower than whale shit.
