If Kaufman would have done it, I would have been laughing out loud. Kramer isn't funny, so I really don't care. The thing is: if he is required to apologize for racism, then everyone should be required to apologize for racism. While I'd love to live in a country where every racist is required to apologize, that would be a breach of free speech, so I really can't support it. Also, I don't think this is comparable to the old "yelling 'fire' in a crowded room' argument. He just blew his top. He's apologized, so now we wait for Jason Alexander to make horribly sexist remarks or for Julia Louis-Dreyfus to eat a baby. It must suck to be unfamous after being famous.
