I, as well as thousands of people (I ain't gona lie, I'm assuming) are offended by fat suits and the words fat ass and other words demeaning to fat people. We get offended everyday. We've been offended for a long time.

I am Italian. I don't like people calling me a Dago, or Wop, or asking if my family is in the mafia, or being told "you're not white".

I don't like non-whites calling whites "cracka" or "honky". I was watching I love the 80s and they talked about how on Miami Vice what's his name always called Don Johnson "cracka". That offends me.

I'm also offended that two young men made a mistake that alot of people could have made and they tried to fix it and apologized to no end and are still being threatened and what not. GET OVER IT. Not everyone knows the history of blackface. Hell I've been on these boards for a few years and have taken on the nickname, unwillingly as the racist bitch. I STILL don't know the history of blackface. I had a Pursuasion Speech class in which all we talked about the whole semester was civil rights protests. Never learned abotu black face and every little thing that is offensive. Now I know it's offensive, so ok. But alot of people don't know that it is offensive.

What do you expect teachers to do? Teach every damn thing that is offensive to people? Students would be in school for a lifetime.

And NOOOOOOOO I'm not racist. Give it up.
