> CNN has a lot of nerve to use a racial slur such as 'pasty-faced'. I believe the correct term is Caucasian.

I really hope this is sarcasm - pasty-faced quite obviously implies Caucasian, but specifically those with a lack of exposure to natural light i.e. being cooped up inside all day long with a computer prevents one from developing a tan.

So you agree, it's racial and derogatory in it's nature.

A racial slur is typically thought of as a slur that is about race. Pasty-faced is not about race. It's about not getting enough sunlight. Race is implied because darker colored people do not look anything like paste when they don't get enough sun. But that race is implied does not mean pasty-faced is any more a racial slur than the negative use of "pale."
