You ever called anyone fat for any reason whatsoever? Plenty of people do it to me all the time. And I'm not fat because I overeat. It's a medical condition. Plenty of people (god how many!) presume to tell me how/why I should lose weight. Skinny/not sick people who've never been fat a day in their lives. My point is this: Plenty of people voice their opinions on subjects they have no personal experience with. I don't think Martin was being racists or homophobic, I think he was being what everyone else is today: opinionated on something he (maybe) shouldn't have an opinion on.

No, I most certainly do not. I've been called fat, though. And dyke and weirdo and ugly and queer, etc. etc. I don't call other people by slurs because it sucks. I know people do that out of ignorance. They don't always mean to be mean and sometimes they do. I have never once said that his comments are racist or homophobic. I've said they're ignorant and poorly worded. For example, in the comment you're replying to I said:
"My intention was never to say that him using the n-word in the interview was racist or mean-spirited (since it can be seen as a quote)."

I was simply trying to explain to anon why, if we assume that he doesn't like gangsta rap because he thinks the use of the n-word is inappropriate (which is the anon's assumption and the interview doesn't have to be read that way, but I am replying to anon's assumption), that's problematic because a person who doesn't belong to a particular marginalized group isn't in the place to say whether or not it's appropriate for that group to use reclaimed slurs. Still basing on anon's assumption that he expressed his dislike because he thought it to be inappropriate, it doesn't mean he'd be racist or homophobic (which I have never once said he'd be), it just means that he doesn't have a very good understanding of reappropriated slurs. Which is fine, but it is problematic. But perhaps he didn't mean it that way at all.
