Racist?

A bunch of City of Irving employees have filed complaints with the EEOC claiming discrimination. Their chief gripe? Some of the employees in their department called two of the city council members idiots. The two council members singled out for idiot status happen to be black.

So beware -- if a black man is an idiot, you can't say it. Incidentally, the two council members say they don't think race has anything to do with their designation. If it doesn't bother them, why should it bother anybody else?
