In the first Hangover movie Zach Galifianakis's character Alan refers to Rainman as a ******, and though the comment gets a big laugh, Hollywood heavyweights are stepping in to make sure this type of slur is no longer used.
A PSA recently hit the airwaves featuring "Glee" stars Jane Lynch and Lauren Potter discussing why racial and social slurs are hurtful. The campaign, called the R-WORD, boasts the support of several industry leaders.
Check out the PSA below, and then head to www.r-word.org for more information.
