First off, I think his comments are obviously racist and disgusting. (I don't think that would come out of my mouth even if I were on air for hours a day, for years - I don't know where that came from!) But it seems to me that one reason it's especially hurtful is because of the target of the insults - young people who were not really "fair game" for public insults, but student athletes who were just trying to excel, and did.

If he had directed that comment at Maxine Waters or Condoleeza Rice, would the outcry have been less?

Politicians get flak, sometimes vicious and bigoted, all the time. Jack Cafferty just called Alberto Gonzales a "glorified waterboy" on the air, and most people don't even know about it. Maybe there's some double standard at work. But it just seems more cruel to direct it at a young person who is not really a public figure. (This may explain the "macaca" outrage too.)

Am I right? And if so, why do we accept more vicious slurs towards politicians?
