Luka maybe taller than Trez.  (I know, not really on point)

I am all for more folks handling things this way.  Everyone.

Yes. I think so. For that and because he’s little bitch.

Lol, agreed. What's the deal with his hair anyway.

I was wondering about that. Must be a douche bag thing.

Since I originally posted this:
1. Harrell apologized which is great.  Its how it should be handled in real life.
2. Most fans gave weak excuses for what he said.  

My personal opinion is that there is no other slang that is equivalent for the N word towards a white person.
In my own experience this is exactly the same as white "boy" is used for adults and in this context its exactly the same as the N word.  
I also think that if someone said the N word in a majority white sport like Nascar to a black person it would make national headlines.
I think there is a double standard, since this should go both ways, and its ironic as the players are sporting "Equality" on their jerseys.
I hope that this will change and things like this will be squashed and handled well like this was between Luka and Motrezl.

Of course there’s a double standard. But there should be. So so much hurt and emotion entangled with racist comments going in the one direction and comparatively little going in the other. So what might seem like equivalent acts have very different effects.

What’s interesting about this to me is that the majority/minority groups are flipped in the NBA from what they are in the country as a whole. Plus the whole foreigner/immigrant thing. So it’s not as easy to dismiss Harrell’s comment as harmless (although Luka’s sick game renders it so).

I don't want to harp on this so I promise this is the last post.  But on some level I agree on Jay Will simply because it happened to me too many times playing ball in Brooklyn as a kid.

Calling someone a bitch ass white boy is similar to calling someone gay as an insult.  He's not just describing Luka as white, he's using white as an insult, saying that Luka is a bitch ass BECAUSE he's a white boy.  

But as a white person I'm not really bothered by this, because I have no experience of being racially oppressed by a black person and there is no inherent power structure of black supremacy that threatens my life or ability to make a living.

There's no reason, ever, for a double standard that i can think of and to the other point, a more suitable comparison would be 'black boy', not the N word. Either way it's wrong period. it's wrong. The involved apologized and moved on, but let's not pretend this wouldn't have blown up even greater, if Luka had said it and not Trez. Let's not be THAT intellectually dishonest.

I am looking forward to the Clips or some team giving Harrell a max deal and regretting it pretty quickly.
