[QUOTE="DReq, post: 1486345, member: 11449"] It is very convenient for white people to declare this not "racist enough" to be really racist but DrewD007 is correct that there are many people who have an ingrained offensive way of speaking and acting that is not consistent with their ordinary racist remarks. Maybe we need to look at the label of "racist" not for what the person meant but how their words and actions impacted another human being. Empathy requires us to look at it that way and if our language hurts others then it is properly called out as racist. JMHO. Besides that, just put Penn State out of our misery and close the place down. [/QUOTE]
