The problem here is: you just see it from a single point of view, namely, how it is handled in Germany. While I do agree with you, here in the US race is a big issue, even if the insult or meaning just exists in ones imagination. In politics it is even worse.
Anyone remember the Black Hole comparison a while back? |
I am totally aware of that, however I did not get the impression that he used the word by mistake. He used it intentionally, to make clear his point. |
I do not disagree with this. However, my point stands. If the republicans or anyone not supporting Obama had said that he/she would be roasted on a stick.
