Should Imus' "nappy head ho's" comment lead to his firing? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

If the "racial-ness" of a comment is a measure of its inadmissability, then action needs to be taken against Imus' executive producer, given that his comment - which set Imus off - that the team was a bunch of "hard-core hos" is, in my mind, considerably more offensive than Imus' "nappy-headed" quip.

And action definitely needs to be taken against Sacha Baron Cohen for his numerous anti-Semitic comments and jokes about Gypsies (as well as "retards") in the movie "Borat".
