Plus the fact that the one perpetrated the racism in the course of his job, while the other did not. If we keep it all level, the one incident of racism was on-the-job, while the other instance was not (at least, so far). Now, if Gates writes up an academic essay called "The Whitey Who Arrested Me," then i'm sure there would be media advocacy for his swift termination as well

You're allowed to be who you choose to be, until you let it interfere with your job. (choose to be, since it discounts things like what's covered by the Americans with Disabilities act, etc.)

Blacks have long been a minority in the U.S., and they have long been heavily discriminated against. Whites have not. It's a bad double standard, sure, but it's completely understandable. I've had teachers insult whites for the treatment of Native Americans too, but I never really cared. Why? The whole point of white people is that we don't get offended over every little racial insult. You can watch comedy acts about this amazing phenomenon.

CNN.

Lol.

You want to know where America is heading? Listen to Carlos Mencia. The sad part about his comedy routine is that its damn near all true.

Please tell me you mean his standup and not his show.

Oh lord not his show. I won't lie, I love Carlos Mencia's standup comedy routines, but his show is, imo, terrible. In his defense though, I haven't seen too many episodes of it.
