re: The Ferguson Protestors Were Yelling Racial Slurs Last Night

I remember reading that when National Lampoon made Animal
House, the studio was concerned about it's racial scenes and wanted them to remove them from the movie. They were afraid it would be called racist and offensive. So, they invited Richard Pryor to a private screening to get his take. He told them it was hilarious, they were too sensitive and to get over it.

It seems like today, we may be able to make fun of ourselves, but are intolerant of anyone else doing so. And we've become SO PC, ridiculously so. A classic comedy like Animal House could never be made today.
