Don Imus

Okay, so you guys have heard that Don Imus story of how he said some racial and sexist comments and he lost his job. I think he should've lost his job, but why are people making a big deal about somebody saying some racial comments to black people. I don't mean that this event should not be taken up seiously, cuz it should. I'm saying that some people on the TV or on the radio have said some racial stuff about other minorities, like people of the Jewish faith and other stuff, but they didn't lose their jobs, did they, or at least we didn't make such a big deal about it. Saying something bad about a Jew is just as bad as saying something about a black person. They should get fired, too. I think this is likely because the U.S used to be segregated and then we integrated. Since a lot of people started to accept black people, they just got used to not hearing any racial slurs about them. But when they hear one, they make a big deal because they thought that everyone was accepted now. Well, we know that isn't the case, but we just get used to the way society is run these days. But,since nobody thinks of Jewish people or other minorities ever being badly mistreated, they shrug a racial slur about them right of their shoulders. It's totally unfair. People in Europe probably don't think of it like that, they probably think something racist said about a Jewish person is horrible. Bottom line, every racial slur about a minority or anything else should be taken up as seiously as the Don Imus case.
