   I really don't know why you turned out to be a moron. But it had absolutely nothing to do with me. I wasn't a part of your formative years thank god.

   Absolutely. In Canada, that's a hate crime. You would be arrested and dragged away for prosecution.

   Over here, if you said black people like watermelon and fried chicken and can't swim, you would be arrested and prosecuted for a hate crime.

   Doesn't matter. You hurt their feelings. And that is enough.

    Hurting people's feelings is a criminal act. For real. Unless you're a white cracker.

    In your own defense, you could try and say you actually said niger, like someone from Niger.

    I know. I could come up with dozens of defenses that would easily dispute the prosecuting attorney's need to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt. Easy peasy.

    You could simply say you had a pet parrot under your coat and quickly run out and buy a parrot.
