Verbal bullying - name-calling, sarcasm, teasing, spreading rumours, threatening, making negative references to one's culture, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, unwanted sexual comments.
Social Bullying - mobbing, scapegoating, excluding others from a group, humiliating others with public gestures or graffiti intended to put others down.
Cyber Bullying - using the internet or text messaging to intimidate, put-down, spread rumours or make fun of someone.

So name calling, teasing, making negative references to one's culture, ethnicity, race etc. unwanted comments, scapegoating, humiliating others with public gestures or symbols, making fun of someone that is more serious that a debate about whether sports teams names amount to making a negative reference about one's culture or are humiliating public symbols?
I am pretty sure they are not mutually exclusive anyway, it is not like the average person is sitting at home thinking "Hey I could worry about AIDS or I could worry about inappropriate sports nicknames, but I cannot worry about both, which will it be today" or "Geez, if I did not spend so much time worrying about inappropriate sports names the North Koreans would not have got their nuclear weapon".
