Here's an excellent article on the whole Imus ordeal. It's long, but if you have the time it's a great read.

It talks about how do we know where the line is on offensive comments? Paraphrasing a bit, comics are constantly throwing out racially charged jokes. "But there are as many lines in the sand as there are people."

We continually define where the lines are by discussing it, debating it. And when the Rutgers women stood up at their press conference and expressed their reaction, they drew a line in the sand that we could all agree on.
