The science reporter described the “n-word” incident as having occurred during a dinner discussion about the use of racial slurs, in which one student on the trip asked whether a classmate should have been suspended for using racist rhetoric in a video.

“To understand what was in the video, I asked if she had called someone else the slur or whether she was rapping or quoting a book title. In asking the question, I used the slur itself,” McNeil wrote.

Some folks sensitivity meters peg out easily.
There might be some calibration needed.
I was called a "Cracker" not long ago when I didn't proceed at a traffic light as quickly as the person behind me wanted to.
At first, I thought what and then smiled and asked, Saltine or Plain?

I received the one finger salute. Some folks have no sense of humor.

That report from the Daily Beast is short on details, but it creates an impression that it was about more than just that one instance when he used the "n" word to pose a question to someone else about the "n" word.

rinse, I knew what word you meant, and I think it's disgusting that you would even use the slang term.
It's the same as saying it!
Thinking it is the same as saying it on the front page of the RT&C (rinselberg times and chronicle)
You are a racist and a deplorable for such thinking!

Such is the thinking of some people that have strong voices in our society.

Well, in their society - certainly not mine.

When they came for the NAZIs, I said nothing...
When they came for those who wouldn't kneel at the National Anthem and attacked them for their violent silence...
When they came for the Trump supporters, I whined but the precedent was already set.
When they came for White reporters I still wouldn't admit what the real problem is because I was afraid of being labeled.


But isn't it poetic that they're now eating their progenitors? I'm assuming he's a Berkley educated progressive since that's his schooling and was a New York Slimes something or other.

As children, many of us were taught an old adage that begins "Sticks and stones...."

I guess they were lying to us.

Yup, words hurt because "I DONT LIKE" and "IM OFFENDED" and if you say or do something I dont approve of, I cant handle it and am going to throw a tantrum because that means I dont rule the world, I cant control you, and all of existence doesn't revolve around "ME"

Aint that just tough **** , snowflakes. Welcome to reality where nobody really gives a **** about your feelings or likes.

They didn't fire him for using a word, They fired him because they were terrified nobody would "like" them if they let him get away with being independent and thinking/talking outside their little leftist box.

Basically, I cant let you get away with calling the jackass down the street a jackass, because then if I do the jackass will think I am agreeing with you and wont like me or give me any money for anything. Jackasses.

Can’t tell from that one report why NYT fired him.

Anyone who uses that word here is running the possibility of getting the boot (membership ban) so that reveals the absurdity of the previous message.

It may have been coded.

I believe you typed this N word that nobody wants to be called, everyone knows that they are horrible, and best call is that it is only used as reference to history that must never be repeated.

This word is only racist when used by old white guys for everyone else it's just a word and has several different meanings depending on when its used.
Like **** or ****.

For the record I do not use this word, it has never felt right leaving my mouth and I couldn't tell you when the last time I muttered it.
But **** you thats why.
