"Isaiah Washington calls someone a faggot during a private argument, apologizes, goes to rehab (or whatever it was), and gets fired.
Ann Coulter calls someone a faggot during a public event and her bookings on National television rise.
But this isn't about race."
I won't even address your oversimplified summations of the two situations. But what does Ann Coulter have to do with Isaiah? They didn't have the same boss? It wasn't one person making two contradictary decisions about two people in the same situation. How does Ann Coulter's situation make Isaiah's situation about race?
You have to evaluate each situation independantly of the other. You can't connect them like there's some subconcious collective boss-brain at work saying, "under equal circumstances we'll keep the white chick and lose the black guy."
There was certainly public outcry over both Isaiah and Ann's actions.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.
