[South Park* Uses and Abuses* “N-word*”]
HUGH RIMINTON, CNN Anchor: Known generally just simply as the “N-word”, it has sparked a lot of debate in the United States. Now the racial slur is taking center stage in the hit TV show South Park. Sibila Vargas reports.
[STAN’S FATHER(South Park)]: I know it, but I don’t think I should say it.
SIBILA VARGAS, CNN Correspondent: But he does say it. In fact, to kick off its 11th season, the hit cable animated series South Park uses the N-word more than 40 times.
The episode starts with one character reluctantly and mistakenly offering the racial slur as an answer on a game show. In an ironic role reversal, he finds himself the object of hate for actually using the word.
[STAN’S FATHER(South Park)]: Please, I don’t want any trouble.
[UNIDENTIFIED MALE 1(South Park)]: Well, you got trouble when you first decided to slander an entire race of people on Wheel of Fortune!
VARGAS: A man faces the same abuse, discrimination and crime associated with the original African-American victims.
[UNIDENTIFIED MALE 2(South Park)]: Hey, what do you think you’re doing?
[STAN’S FATHER(South Park)]: I just need some aspirin.
[UNIDENTIFIED MALE 2(South Park)]: You aren’t welcome in this store, “Nigger Guy”!
VARGAS: While some might find any use of the Nword inflammatory, some members of the black community praise the episode’s portrayal of discrimination.
ANDREW MARKELL, South Park Viewer: It’s not really the word that’s important. Look at what’s going on inside, you know. That’s what I got.
VARGAS: Kovon and Jill Flowers, who co-founded the organization Abolish the “N” Word, tell CNN that in this case using it was appropriate. (Quote) “This show, in its own comedic way, is helping to educate people about the power of this word and how it feels to have hate language directed at you.” Daily Variety’s TV Editor Mike Schneider says it all needs to be taken in context.
MIKE SCHNEIDER, Daily Variety TV Editor: You can’t just take it on surface what they did on the show. To some degree, there’s a complicated story line and you have to watch the entire episode to get to sort of the moral at the end. (STAN: I’ll never really get how it feels for a black person to have somebody use the N-word.) It’s typical South Park M.O., which is, let’s take something that people are talking about that’s kind of uncomfortable and really throw it out there, really take it to the limit, take it to the edge.
VARGAS: While neither Comedy Central nor the show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, would comment on this episode, over the years the top-rated show has targeted just about every sensitive subject. Catholics have taken issue with some of the show’s subject matter; so have Scientologists, gays and lesbians.
[STAN(South Park)]: This is a gay.
SCHNEIDER: South Park is immune because they’ve been on for so many years. They’ve been so successful. They’re cartoon characters. They can get away with a lot and they have throughout the years.
VARGAS: Controversy that over the years has translated into big ratings. Sibila Vargas, CNN, Hollywood.
