The sad thing is that all the racism is a one way street. If you call him a Spade or jungel bunny you are in deep do do, but if he calls you a white honkey no one takes notice. I have seen many cases where a caucasian has been sentenced for racial behavior by using names, but have yet to see an IC3 convicted for the same thing.
