I'll have to disagree with you here, and I might get burned for this
but......
If you are happy with who you are and have pride in your family's heritage,
then a harmless joke shouldn't have an effect on you. The only way something
like that should have a negative effect on you if you are very insecure
about yourself. Let's not take the life out of this board.
Summed up the best by children:
Sticks and stone may break my bones
but names can never hurt me.
