The sentence in question is an exemplar of a much worse insult that could've been hurled by SOS, which is clear from his presentation of it ("I don't care if I had called you..."). To claim racism is blatantly incorrect, although I am sure that many people might easily make this mistake - both people for whom English is not their first language, as well as native English users who are not well-versed in grammar.

I agree with you, sort of, about the you about the use of the N-word. though, the rhetorical trick -- sneaking an an offsenive insult in under cover of a hypothetical "what if i said" or "someone else might say" .

Example (and im really not trying to insult you, as i think you made your point well)

If i said "some people might think that only a stupid asshole would make an argument like the one youre making" im not really calling you an asshole. Except i kind of am. No not technically. But still.

Also, there are some people who consider any use of the n-word to be offensive. Now you might think those people are wrong, and silly, but is their "sacred cow" really any more absurd than SOS's?

ATSD voted -- he expressed an opinion. And SOS found that offensive the same way some people might find the causal use of the n-word offensive. I think both positions are pretty retarded (CWIDT?). But not one more than the other.

Also also, you really don't get to drop the C-bomb and say "his reaction was totally over the top and im so surprised and offended by it."

At best you get to say "i did my level best to provoke this guy by calling him one of the worst words that exists, and now i am going to elect to be super butthurt about his very very very forseeable reaction to that provocation"
