Racism IS dead. Now we have political correctness run wild and people who get out bed everyday looking for a reason to get their panties wadded up.

Brings new meaning to the term "oversensitive", does it not? If a black player showed up at a part in "whiteface" you can bet nobody would dare say a thing about it. Get over yourselves, people.

I'll be the first one to say that racism is not dead...but THIS is ridiculous. One must look at the purpose behind it...had it been done to bring a group of people down, and just out of pure malice then yes it is offensive otherwise this is irrational and taken to the extreme.

I would like to know the races of the people who actually got offended by it and why?...

@baybelle: You and your son have every right to be offended by being called such names. Some people act as if they can offend and as long as they do not consider it an offense then it is not one.

" Who has the right to go through life thinking they are not going to be offended." batcave

uBnice::::I wonder if you would feel the same if it were a show of blacks with white faces while portraying whites as ignorant, non-literate people.

You want the truth? I'm white and it wouldn't bother me a dad gum bit. See, I don't get "offended" or "have my feelings hurt" over every little thing that happens. I live in a building where a few of people are like that, and I'll be the first to say it. driverkid3

THIS

I have been called a "kracker" before and it didnt bother me. It could never sting as bad as being called the "n" word or the "s" word.
