How would Flames fans feel if something like this happened to Iginla? Well, as long as it was a joke, it'd be great, right?
I think an educated bigot would say that Iginla runs a lottery scam or kidnaps foreign oil workers rather than selling drugs and living in the projects.

I guess it's all free speech to people until someone hits their sore spot. In Calgary, you can call me a cracker and make European jokes all you want--I won't be offended. But if I lived in a majority black city, where blacks control literally everything, that "cracker" would sound a hell of a lot different.
