No, they didn't do the right thing in my humble opinion!

  I think everyone is so uptight these days. We have become a bunch of sensitive, soft, video-game playing, low testerone/ crybabies while real discrimination & bigotry continues to plague people of color and other minorities. I would rather laugh at a joke about our racial, cultural, economic, social or other differences or even have a non-black person call me the N-word that get shot down from 41 bullets by a police or private citizen standing their ground. Or even the persistent & unchecked institutional and early childhood racial discrimination, along with the unfair & unequal punishment that accompanies that. These struggles & challenges are what's worth fighting for as they endure even as we constantly break down racial barriers in all areas of American and international socio-economic. Imagine after the last 50 years we are still having people being the 1st Black, Latino or etc., breaking glass ceilings. Women of all racial backgrounds are making more progress towards an even playing field than any other similarly discriminated or oppressed socio-economic groups such as Black or Latino males or even children & the elderly, it seems. We keep worrying about the wrong thing or getting your struggle co-oped by some marketing executive.
