The word "thug" describes a behavior pattern, not a race. I have seen the word applied to black and white alike, from muggers downtown to mafia goons on TV. It's about as racially generic as you can get. The media manufactured a linguistic controversy because they like to stir the pot and keep us all at each others throats for the sake of their ratings. What better way to do that then to hold the language captive?
