Racial slurs and use of racial slurs when directed at another user will result in a banning. Racial slurs will no longer be tolerated in any format.

The Mouth Of Mencia
On his new television show, "Mind of Mencia," funnyman Carlos Mencia is just loving the B-word. He calls himself Comedy Central's "resident beaner." He does bits along the line of "You know you're a beaner when . . ." He has a routine called "Out the Beaner."
