What Have You Done To Deserve This?

Rutgers University president, Richard L. McCormick, in response to Don Imus:
I can't imagine why he said that. Our players had done nothing whatsoever to deserve that.

Rutger's University Director of Athletics, Robert E. Mulcahy, III, in response to Don Imus:
We share their anger and indignation and want to express fully our pride in them. They did absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment.
Don Imus on Al Sharpton's radio show yesterday:
...You can't make fun of everybody, because some people don't deserve it.

Question: can you think of a situation in which anyone "deserves" to be the subject of a racial slur intended to demean and degrade?
