Re: Wow, that was racist
[ QUOTE ]
We're less than 50 years removed from a time when very real, very painful very evil racism and discrimination was pervasive in this country. Frankly, I think it's a little soon to be laughing off these little coy moments of offensiveness as if we don't still face these types of issues. If posts and discussion like this serve to keep people aware, that's a fantastic thing.

I agree with Dids. the fact that this little moment did not cause pain or suffering does not make it ok. it's not a heinous crime, but it may be evidence of a larger problem. hard to say without knowing the people.
said another way: I'm fine with some people making Jewish jokes to me.
