[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1600947, member: 586845"] Words are pretty inextricably linked to a history of actions in many cases, especially in the case of ethnic/racial slurs. Further, we shouldn't be judging whether a grown adult's actions are appropriate by comparing them to what are largely a bunch of kids on the internet hiding behind anonymity. It's like judging public discourse according to what is acceptable in YouTube comments. [/QUOTE]
