We used the N-word version all of the time when I was a kid (I haven't heard the thing for many years, and have never heard it with the word "tiger" substituted)...and I'm in my mid-30s.

Having said that, two points:

1) By what crazy version of tort law can you sue someone for something that someone says? Even worse, since when can you sue someone because something that they said makes you think of something else that offends you that they didn't even say????

2) Why is this story national news? A couple of black women are offended by something someone says...and it makes Fox??
