In reply to the discussion: Sean Penn's son to paparazzi: Fuck off (insert ugly racial slur here) [View all]lunatica

It's not about the paparazzi. When that word is thrown out, especially in a very public venue....

I find it interesting that "the N word" is expletive deleted but "the F word" is typed in full.
