Krys Barch
Ice hockey:
"At the end of the first period of their New Year's Eve game, the Montreal Canadiens battled the Florida Panthers around the Florida net. Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban and Florida defenseman Erik Gudbranson were both given double-minor penalties for slashing and roughing. But Krys Barch of the Panthers, rather inexplicably at the time, was given a game misconduct. The eventual explanation was shocking:
According to George Richards of the Miami Herald, Barch was ejected after linesman Darren Gibbs overheard him using a racial slur towards Subban. The report was supported by the Sun-Sentinel, which reported that "a linesman overheard Barch uttering a teasing-type slur toward Montreal's P.K. Subban, a native black Canadian."
Subban told the Montreal media that he didn't hear a slur and that no one else on his team did either. Erik Cole added that he heard something but wasn't sure what. To paraphrase, he said it could have been something related to Subban's parents.

Those who seek to force feed upon resisters the tenets of political correctness rarely succeed. You cannot teach A to love/respect/accept as an equal B by punishing A for expressions of disagreement with those notions. What you can teach A is that if he does not accept/respect/accept as an equal B or members of B group, A should not express those heretical thoughts publicly. It does not change A's attitude (it in fact probably hardens it) nor does it make A's actions toward B or members of B group necessarily more benevolent; it does teach A the need to have available for public consumption acceptable rather than accurate reasons for his actions. And the "heretical", not-politically-correct attitudes and thoughts roll right on below the radar.
Seriously, how is this really any different from current hate speech legislation? A minority group cries foul because a person in a majority group says something negative about a person in the minority group and it's considered hate speech, often punishable criminally and civilly.
Fantasy (in this case, a game) often mirror real life

That Man is a social construct.
His very existence as "White" taunts those who are not. Or so those who detest the existence of a multitude of different people.
