Junha - Racism/CNN report on South Park

There was a CNN report on this cartoon, "South Park", using the "n" word. According to the news report, the South Park used "n" word, exactly 42 times in one episode. This issue was raised as a racial discrimination to the black people. However, according to the South Park", they used it as an entertaining comic episode. They were trying to make a hilarious episode so they used that idea; however, some critics said that this seemed to cross the line and was criticized for its carelessness. This report shows that the racial discrimination is still an issue currently and the mass media still reports the issue to the world.
