But you know there are some people who think that "thug" has racial connotation.

I don't. I just think of a brutish tough guy, maybe with a mafia implication, but I had a conversation at lunch with some people about it, believe it or not, who think thug suggests something racial, if for example, you said of a teenage dressed in a rough way, that he looked like a thug.

I think the Imus comment is racist, but that he may not be. It probably didn't occur to him how bad it was going to seem.
