Some of it is evidence of the power paradigm shifts that we heard so much about during the 80s. White men were once able to say just about anything about anyone in America as long as they smiled when they said it. People from other demographics were expected to speak only when spoken to. All that has reversed. Anyone can say whatever they want about white men. However, it's uppity for a white man to think he can employ slang like using the N word or talking trash about women and get away with it like everybody else does.
