it may be, I am also forced to agree with them that it is a double standard.
Think for a moment about this "double-standard."
Do we mean that black people can use any slur they want? Can President Obama drop the N-Word? Has Branford Marsalis called you a cracker? Does former Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson have a pass to call other people of Chinese descent various slurs? Do these things happen?
Or are there a few low-class pop musicians using slurs and selling primarily to white people, and some political activists chosing to embrace epithets for their own goals?
What actually is it that upsets you?
