"Shoot it, whitey!"

I was at the Georgia Dome yesterday for the ACC Basketball tournament, disappointed at watching my Clemson Tigers lose their opening game.

A game during which, a loud fan yelled the above. See, Clemson has a wing player (shooting guard) who happens to be a white kid. He normally is a very effective 3-point shooter but was off his game yesterday, so I can only imagine that this fan (who happened to be black and who happened to be wearing the other team's colors) wanted to see him to continue to miss.

But I was left thinking about what would have happened had the racial situation and epithets been reversed?
