Imus is being raked over the coals for his remarks directed against black females. However, when he has referred to Jews in a demeaning and insultative manner, the public outrage and its echo in the mainstream press, was more low-keyed.
Back on November 30, 2006, he referred to "The Jewish management at, whoever we work for, CBS" and called them "money-grubbing bastards". ADL felt the need to protest his remarks of December 15, 2004 about "thieving Jews," and his subsequent apology when he said, "I apologize [for saying thieving Jews] I realize that's redundant."
It seems the litmus test color of black is much more sensitive.
