Race has to be A factor when it comes to racism and racial slurs, obviously. Don't see that it necessarily has to be the ONLY one.We all know what black dialect - called 'ebonics' a few years ago by academics - sounds like. For a white person to use it mockingly is clearly racist.No one's saying they "speak that way because of their genetic code." Ridiculous.Why don't you TRY being the savior once in awhile, Ted, instead of the asshole? Just a thought.
