    Special Protection?

    No. How about some plain old civility?

    You don't call a black person a nigger. You don't call a Jewish person a kike. You don't call a Japanese person a gook. You don't call a man a dick. (Are there similar T-shirts for Dick Cheney? I don't think so.) You don't call a woman a cunt.

    And you certainly don't do those things and laugh about it.
