FCC considering banning Redskins name

[Mr. Morden]

But, if you regulate the f-word and the n-word, the racial slur "redskin" could easily fall into that category.

Does the FCC actually ban the use of the n-word?  I've definitely seen it used on cable networks, but don't remember hearing it used on any of the broadcast networks since the 80s.  But I assumed that was just self-censorship.

Are there any other ethnic slurs (as opposed to swear words like f--k and s--t) banned by the FCC?

I know for a fact that Weezie said "n please" several times on The Jeffersons (always to George and always with a huge positive reaction from the live crowd) and I'm fairly certain it was used on Good Times and All in the Family as well.

Yeah, I know.  It was definitely used on broadcast television as late as the 80s, but I can't think of any examples after that.

Years ago, weren't there some broadcast stations that ran reruns of South Park late at night?  How would they have handled "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson"?
