| 1 | * {{Anvilicious}}: Words, and especially racial slurs, have power, and you shouldn't use them unless you're ready to deal with the consequences of saying them. Furthermore, [[DoubleStandard if there was an equivalent of the N-word that was equally racist and offensive to white people, it would get outlawed easily]]. |
| 2 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: As usual for South Park, Randy saying the n-word with such ecstacy is ''very'' amusing. |
| 3 | * MisaimedFandom: |
| 4 | ** While Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone are very vocal advocates of free speech, even they don't believe that people who use the N-word should be able to just give a bland apology and then expect all the consequences of using the slur to go away and never be mentioned again. That hasn't stopped certain viewers from seeing Randy (and Creator/MichaelRichards and Mark Fuhrman) as the true victim in the episode, believing that his apology to Jesse Jackson should have been the end of the matter, and that Token is unreasonable for not immediately accepting Stan's claim that Randy just made a really stupid mistake and isn't actually racist. It probably doesn't help that the episode also chooses to lampoon virtue-signalling white people at the same time (Randy is banned from stores and threatened with violence by sanctimonious hillbillies), making the group's complaints of harassment and being given NoSympathy [[DisproportionateRetribution over a racial slur]] seem [[StrawmanHasAPoint founded, if misdirected]]. |
| 5 | ** The episode's message, that [[DoubleStandard a word as offensive to white people as the n-word is to black people would have no trouble being boycotted]], was lost on critics who simply saw the creators [[WhiteMansBurden playing the victim card]] as an excuse to say the n-word as many times as they wanted. |
