[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you being so vague about the slur?  [/quote]

second thread I’ve read lately on DCUM where person alleges a “slur” but won’t say what it is, so it is difficult to respond.[/quote]

Cracker, Jew, wetback, gringo, chink wouldn't be bleeped.  There is only one word that would be.[/quote]

Jeez, what t.v. stations do you watch? Cracker, wetback, and chink would absolutely be bleeped unless it was some comedy channel with no rating and then usually only if the comedian was of the race the slur applied to.

Jew isn't in and of itself a slur, so no that wouldn't be bleeped, unless there was profanity with it or other offensive terms used.  Gringo... not even sure that is truly considered a slur all around?  Most non-English languages have a term for people with white skin and that term is not always in and of itself considered offensive or a slur.  So if it's widely recognized as a slur, that might be bleeped too.  But I know cultures that just use it and it's not a slur.

PP can you give an example of where you've heard wetback or chink on a t.v. show (other than a storyline about racism) and it wasn't bleeped?  What show? What context?[/quote]
