Breaking with tradition, AJ McCarron is not, as was first reported, hugging his mother. Roll Tide!

Katherine: WE'RE ENGAGEDDD!!!

Is that Aaron Paul?

If is not so different why are you trying to tell me that it's not as bad to use the r word? The answer is that people have generally accepted that words like the g word are wrong and simply don't feel the same about the r word. They, like you don't get that there is not a degree of wrongness when it comes to using…

Nope, its still not okay. I don't care how YOU perceive the word. It's a racist slur and is therefore not okay. Quite trying to excuse or explain your lack of concern, again the fact that you're okay with using this word is a bad thing. The only reason people are okay with it is because Natives do not have the…

From the sounds of it, you didn't understand a lick of the original Colbert segment, the controversy itself, or the purpose of this Deadspin article.

AUGH. No. Language has context. The same word can have a completely different meaning depending on how and by whom it's used. The problem with white people using racial slurs in the same way as minorities that have reclaimed them is that it allows them to use those slurs to disguise contempt for minorities that they'd…

"Either a word is offensive or it is not."

Yeah, um, no. Words don't have universal meanings or universally-implied cultural significance. They mean different things based on who says what and in within what context.

Trying to universally tag a word as taboo or offensive is as equally narrow-minded as thinking that a…

No it's not, the r word was used by those who slaughtered natives by the thousands in a myriad of horrible ways. Pretending that it's okay to use the term is hypocritical and frankly racist.

But why did a story about Native Americans have to become about people of Asian heritage? Suey Park missed the intersectional forest for the sanctimony trees - Colbert has with one joke done more to point out the fucked-up-ness of the Washington team name than she has in her entire activist lifetime, but she's…

I love how okay you are with racist slurs against native Americans, but totally pissed about racist slurs against east Asians. So, only certain people deserve respect? I think every race needs a team named after the worst slur you can use against their people. I mean, what's the big deal? The San Francisco Gooks are…

It seems like the solution to the situation you describe is to pause for a moment and figure out what you might be missing or why an entertainer of whom you profess to be a fan would do something so shockingly out of character... rather than rushing to the cranking and getting the umbrage mill all wound up without…

You just tossed up some props and then totally reneged on the props. Not very cool, kemosabe.

First, in 2014 you don't call black people the n-word in polite company... you call them "thugs." Ask Richard Sherman.

There's two slurs in the headline though. Why does one slur (Gooks) take priority over the other (Redskins)?

What about R__Skin?

I hate her nail polish color, if that counts for anything.

How about "Redskins?"
