Was the "faggot" slur so necessary? Money quote:
Perhaps it should be noted that the bouncer is black. Very few smart writers, directors, producers or actors would come anywhere close to a scene where an angry, rich white lady called a bouncer a "nigger doorman," but calling him a "faggot doorman" is just fine, and doesn’t do irreparable harm to the character’s likability. This is hardly Apatow’s fault, but he might have thought twice before reinforcing that rule.
