Kayne West was a 'good boy'

I was watching Fox News this morning and they were discussing flood benefits and Kayne West's performance last night came up. One of the commentators stated that Mr. West did not offer any more comments on the race issue and that he was a 'good boy'.

I think someone should clue this guy that if you work for an overwhelmingly white conservative network, calling a Kayne West a 'good boy' might not be seen as a compliment, especially when discussing race relations.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking about this today and I thought that the only people who could use that phrase to me without it sounding demeaning are relatives. If my mother called me a 'good boy', I probably woudn't take offense. If my boss or a srranger did so, I probably would be offended.

This also works indirectly. It is appropriate for someone to say "I'm sure his mother thinks he's a good boy".

Is this a sign of a new anti-PC movement?
