And I hate to break it to
you (actually, I don't), but if you want to be a human being, and live on this planet, you might have to deal with repercussions of your racist outbursts. Of course, there will always be those apologists who'll excuse and/or diminish the offensive remarks by charging anyone who takes umbrage to them as catering to "political correctness," especially if it's a Black person who is offend.

But if Blacks take offense to being called a "******," by an Italian, well they're just too sensitive, and any negative repercussions against the Italian is an example of "poltical correctness." Unf******believable. SMH
As to the question: should a pro cycling team be kicked out of a race for using the N-word?
I don't know about "should," but if I were race director, I would have kicked them out.
