Have you heard of Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the controversy surrounding him lately? Or the pool in Pennsylvania? There's a lot these days showing how subtle racism is these days.

I was referring to the usage of the word and racial slurs (which is what this thread is about) , hate crimes/discrimination is something else.
I don't consider hate crimes any different than any other type of murder.
As for discrimination , it really doesnt exist anymore , and if it does you can always sue.
edir: sorry about the fail quoting , I cant seem to delete the post.
