So would it be any different if it was "bitch ass black boy" instead? Just the word "boy" would be viewed as racist and caused a PR nightmare for the NBA if it was from Doncic to Harrell. If that were the case, Doncic would have been banned from the bubble, banned from the league, and blackballed from most, if not all, of pro basketball. But since it's from Harrell to Doncic, it's not getting nearly the amount of attention that you know it would if it were the other way around. And Harrell is just getting a slap on the wrist. Why? 

You just admitted yourself that what Harrell said was wrong, yet before that, you were saying the exact opposite that it's not a racial slur. If it's not a racial slur and/or it's not designed to dehumanize their target, than why was Harrell wrong for what he said and why did he have to apologize for it?

And it's 'Kike" not 'Kite'. 

So would it be any different if it was "bitch ass black boy" instead?

0_0!!     yeeeeees..............Unless you think black and Nigger is interchangeable. Holy shit.

But because of being the lack of professionalism. Take out the white boy and just leave dumbass and I would still think he was wrong and needed to admit it and apologize. For the rest of your post, "boy" would have been a issue if it was directed at Harrell, why? because of the history of that term in regards to black people that is not shared with white people. 

Because 'boy' directed towards black people, from white people, is usually another form of racism. And if Doncic had said that to Harrell, even if Doncic didn't mean it like that, the media would have eaten him alive and you know it. But when Harrell says 'boy' to Doncic, it's not that big of a deal?

Bolded: If you honestly believe that, then holy shit you're naive. Anytime an insult towards a black person is based on their skin color, it's automatically viewed as racism for good reason. So if it were "bitch ass black boy" it would have been just as controversial, blasted, and crucified as "bitch ass nigger" because they both emphasize the color of the skin. The words may be different, but the meaning and intent behind them is the same. Just like if someone called me a "bitch ass brown boy," it'd be no different from calling me a "bitch ass beaner/spic/wetback." Because they both mean to insult my race/ethnicity.
