Sonic Drive-In has apologized for a racist sign promoting Sunday's Chiefs-Skins game outside one of its restaurants in Belton, Mo.

I guess the apology makes it all better then . . .

isn't racist, so if you say anything about a non-racist term, then that can't be racist, can it?

This was an individual franchise owner who did something stupid and racist. I don't think the company can unilaterally shut down the individual restaurant over this.
