There are a lot of terms that have been highly offensive for all sorts of people ie: Limeys = brits used to be called this and it was like the worst insult. Do i give a fuck if someone calls me this? NO.
Your whole argument is based on someone commenting on someones appearance. If i call a fat man a big fat podger and it is really offensive to that person i promise you lots of peeps if they were there would laugh their tits off and wouldnt think of it as prejudice. -Its just taking the piss or commenting in a less-than-nice way. If the person he said it to gets over it quick enoughthen it aint an issue
If people keep making issues of things like this then the world's attitude will never change. I cant stop you getting offended but i doubt red bull meant any serious offence, he just said wat he saw

It's kind of difficult for you to see past your own culture. #1...Ur from the UK so your perspective on American Racism is NOT going to be an enlightened as if you lived here. #2...I presume you're white which gives you yet another perspective. Therefore, I'mma leave it alone. Having a CHIP on ones shoulder and realizing that certain words are HISTORICALLY DEGRADING to black people are 2 entirely dfferent things. I WILL NEVER accept being called a NIGGER by a white person, EVER. I will NEVER accept being called a porch MONKEY or an APE by a white person, EVER. It's wrong and whoever uses those terms need to reconsider their way of thinking.
