Do you think what Dog the Bounty hunter did was as you say Overboard??

I see what your saying. Yes what Dog did was overboard.. Calling a black person "******" has long been a racist term.. Just like the term "jewing someone down" For asians the term "gook" and many others have been used.. I just failed to see how Long Duck Dong, a movie character, fell into the same category as those others.. Then again im not asian, so i cant really say if it would offend me or not.. If Dana would have referred to him as Hong Man Gook, or something to that effect then i could see it.. But as i said.. Im not asian so i dont guess its for me to decide..Its very obvious that some folks were offended.. And i have no right to tell you that you shouldnt be.. No disrespect meant to anyone..
