Casteen has to respond in some way given the University's problems with racism the past few semesters. With that said, it seems that the employee who used the N-word didn't mean it in an offensive way. Also, I haven't seen any articles in the Cav Daily that actually gives the race of that employee, which makes you wonder...

"It doesn't really matter in what context this word was used," Staff Union President Jan Cornell said in a statement, adding that employees have reported other similar incidents.

Context doesn't matter??? The world HAS gone mad...

Forgive this old Wahoo's ignorance, but what problems with racism in the past few semesters? I haven't followed events at the University very closely.

The use of the N word by a black is perfectly proper and appropriate and raises no questions. Here, the word has to have been used by a white or other non-black in order to elicit any type of faux-outrage or indignation. This double standard is, in itself, one of the most blatant examples of black racism in society today and of the neocommunist media's complicity in that black racism.

Watched part of the Richard Pryor (a really funny guy) on BET last night. It would have been much shorter had he not used the N word frequently. Same for any of the lesser known comedians on BET.
