If "Zimmerman" has become a term that has become an insult... and this is likely... then it should be dealt with in the same fashion as other personal attacks and group smears. For this to happen, the DU population at large needs to be made aware of this for jury and hosting purposes.

I would suggest Help & Meta-Discussion.
