Fox fires Steve Lyons for racially insensitive comment
I'm German, French, and Swedish. Should I be offended by programs which depict Germans as stupid and demand the program be taken off the air? Should I be offended every time someone attempts to speak with a Swedish accent and really butchers it? Should I be offended every time a French woman is portrayed as promiscuous and demand the movie or TV program be banned? I was born here, but my ancestors came to this country because it's a free country. Yeah, Steve Lyons made a stupid remark. Cause for reprimand? Yes! Firing? No!
