I may be over-moderating, and I'll ask Jayne and Alex if I am, but it seems to me that deliberately offensive name-calling based on race and ethnicity is not conducive to civil discourse here or anywhere else, regardless of whether the target is a politician.
I have no problem with Charlie's expressing his opinion that Warren enjoyed some sort of race-based advantage to which she was not entitled.
I do have a big problem with the Native American-themed mockery of Warren, because it seems to me that there's a very short step from there to mocking Native Americans in general.
John, is anti-Semitic language about Benjamin Disraeli not anti-Semitic because he was a politician?
