I think they were just laughing because it's KRAMER. As soon as he started to speak, they started to laugh.


You know, when someone cuts me off in traffic, I'm known to start name calling. Not necessarily racial slurs, but I'll yell something ****ty at them. Fat, old, bald, smoker, whatever I can come up with(yes, I consider smoking to be as bad as anything I can think of ).
I think this slur just came out of his mouth before he could hit the stop button. I know I grew up hearing a few older relatives saying the word, as I'm sure many people did. How could it not still be in your subconscious mind?
He made a VERY non-PC mistake. Obviously. And I'm sure he's sorry.
