Dogonnit Keith, If the guy is going to behave in such a fashion, those who have to suffer it should at least be able to grill him about his generalities and stereotyping until he's forced to admit that there is a lot more to the bag of beans than he would care to recognize.
Just throttling the guy lets him off too easy. Now it's he who gets to claim that his sensibilities were offended, further enforcing and propigating his peculiar beliefs elsewhere. Give 'em enough rope to hang themselves. If they're smart, they won't use it all. If they aren't, the world should at least be given the pleasure of watching them swing at the end of the yardarm of their own making.
