Unless you are a racial minority or someone outside of the normal community, these things should not be dismissed. I completely understand the point that is being made by the usage of a name and the way it was done. People do not have to use derogatory names to have a racial, ethnic or even religious tone to them. Just the story sounds like there was an attempt to humiliate or point out the person's racial background. And I have no problem for this action to be taken by Stiffler on this matter and I would take a similar action. Been in enough situations where things are said in ways that make it clear they are trying to make a racial point. I am sure most here are not either privy to those situations or even know how to recognize them when they are taking place.

Peace
