Agreed, not all racial epithets carry the same weight. Honkey, for instance is just laughable any time I hear it. Even Cracker, which has some greater historical significance to it doesn't really ring in my ears the way the N word does.

But, in today's news it looks like the Redskins are actually going to change their name, would you look at that. No matter what they change it to, I can't see it not being contentious whether the fans like it or not. It's going to be a shit starter.
