How did they manage to say all of those racial slurs on television?? The first time I watched it (which was a couple months ago--I'm only 16) I couldn't believe all the things that came out of Archie's mouth! What's worse is that people really felt/feel that way.

Well, in the pilot episode, before it aired a thing came up on the TV screen saying that the show was mature or something, like Comedy Central does toady with South Park. Archie's was meant out to be the low-class bigot that he was. People just enjoyed hearing what cam out of his motuh, because when HE said it, it would come out funny.
