Would Han be considered "racey" (which isn't a word. "Racy" is though, but means something different entirely) if he called Lando a "darkie boom-boom"?

And to answer your question on the first bit, yes, Han was obviously taking a jab at the appearance of Jabba and his species when he said that. Is that even debatable?

Some of you guys are trying to drive your point home by saying that these comments are based on appearance, and therefore nothing to do with race (species). What?! The "N" word is a comment on color (appearance). How can we even compare calling a guy with glasses "four eyes" with calling an Asian "slant eyes"? They are not even in the same ball park! All racism has ever been based on has been appearance, "They don't look like us; so they are not as good as us".

I agree that there's little difference between insulting someone's racial characteristics ('darkie' 'walking carpet') and insulting their race.

But this brings up the question, ignoring the EU and PT, are all Huts as slimy and wormy and fat as Jabba? Possibly not.

If old Orson Welles was the only human being you met in a galaxy, would calling him a 'tubby beardo' be racist?
