It was more of "you can't judge a person by their friends" type of thing. I don't think Jodie Foster is an asshole for being friends with Mel.

The Jewish People, persecuted thorough the ages, are the first to hear God's voice, and surely are the chosen people.
There's a difference between not dropping someone you've been friends with a long time (despite his hideous behavior) and saying, "Hey, we're all racists! It's normal! Everyone should feel good and fine about the horrible things going through your heads because this is completely normal behavior! And shame on anyone…
No apology for us n-words?

I know some people still hate them for a couple comics but Penny Arcade had this shit locked down years ago.
As a lawyer, I can tell you the whole legal system has been woefully behind the times in adapting to the new online world. Criminal prosecution is no exception.
This is a great explanation and description of the psychological aspects of depression. I'd also like to point out that even though it's largely "in your mind," the physical aspects—and, often, causes—of depression are debilitating too.
