SAM:
I've heard it both ways, it is and it isn't. I look at
it this way.
Say you're being tailgated by a white driver, then
further up the road you're being tailgated by a black
driver. If you refer to the first driver as an "idiot"
and the second driver as a "black idiot," that's an
example of inconsistent and inappropriate use of race.
