My 2 cents: People in the world today have such black/white thinking. Something is either absolutely good or absolutely evil. Doesn't matter what it is. Sports, family, religion, politics, country, race, gender, language etc. They pick a side & refuse to listen to any justified criticism of their side. You don't agree with them, you must be a hater. The nickname issue is just a small example of what is largely plaguing mankind today.
