So The Daily Show's guest tonight is an idiot. No good at giving an interview. But this quote ... "So let's say there was a 'Bigot Channel' [example of a point]. And on this channel, Hispanics are spics, Jews are kikes, gays are faggots, and black people are you-know-what." WTF? He can say spics, kikes, and faggots to give examples of what we consider unacceptable language, but he can't bring himself to say nigger in EXACTLY THE SAME CONTEXT?

I mean, I find the word midget offensive (although you get a freebie if you legitimately didn't know), but I don't call it "you-know-what" or "the M word". Same with the word crip (and yeah, I know that's been 'reclaimed' by some folks, most noticeably in the UK).
