I'd still be unoffended. And I'd still think it wasn't funny. We've all got different thresholds of what we do or do not find offensive. Debating whether or not the joke was offensive is going to be about as productive as debating whether or not the democrats are better than the republicans, or vice-versa.
I wasn't offended by it. But I'm not about to tell you that you shouldn't be. I certainly wish you wouldn't be, because IMO you shouldn't allow what a comedian (and I use that term loosely) says ruin your day. But that's your call :) On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:27 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Think about it this way- what if she had said the kid had to be white in > order for you to get credit?
