While checking ESPN.com earlier today, I was excited to see a sidebar link that screamed "Ex-NBA star's anti-Semitic slurs draw suspension." Ooh, anti-Semitic slurs! Sounds entertaining. Tell me more.

The ex-NBA star here is Michael Ray Richardson, who was being interviewed about something that no one gives a crap about.

"I've got big-time lawyers. I've got big-time Jew lawyers," he said.

What? How dare he call Jew lawyers "big-time"? What a fucking racist! At least that's what the dumbass reporters thought--they felt that Richardson was stereotyping Jews as crafty and shrewd.

His response? "Are you kidding me? They are. They've got the best security system in the world. Have you ever been to an airport in Tel Aviv? They're real crafty. Listen, they are hated all over the world, so they've got to be crafty."

What? Jews are crafty and have the best security system in the world? That's the most racist thing I've ever heard in my life!

And he wasn't done. "They got a lot of power in this world, you know what I mean? Which I think is great. I don't think there's nothing wrong with it. If you look in most professional sports, they're run by Jewish people. If you look at a lot of most successful corporations and stuff, more businesses, they're run by Jewish. It's not a knock, but they are some crafty people."

What? Jews are successful and he thinks that is great? Oh no! Take that back! Racist racist racist! What else did he say? What? That's it? Oh, OK. Fucking racist.

Seriously, can anyone explain to me which part of what he said can be considered an "anti-Semitic slur"? I'm really confused. I just don't see anything here that comes close to Mel Gibson's classic "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" line.

The world's obsession with political correctness is getting ridiculous. Nowadays, it seems that we can't say anything without offending someone somehow. At what point do we just say fuck political correctness, I'll say what I think and I don't give a shit if people like it or not?

I don't want to live in a world where everyone is forced to talk like a robot. Do you?
