re: Am I a racist to think that Sterling's comments weren't that bad?

And I don't disagree with this analysis - but when a relatively innocent guy says something similar in the future - is this going to be the precedent used? That's my only concern - not any sort of concern for billionaire bigot Sterling...

... and, despite my educational / cultural / geographical liberalism, I agree with you.

The 'twitter' mob of mouth-breathers who are trying to make a difference terrifies me. Any statement can be construed into anything, and you're only one re-tweet from being strawmanned into a rape apologist, racist, anti-asian, anti-semetic, nazi, etc...

These PC crusaders are disgusting, IMO. That doesn't excuse Sterling, however.
