#2 Last night I watched several stand-up guys on TV that were pretty funny. One was Vietnamese and two were black. None of their routines would have passed PC muster. Many of the jokes were aimed at undercutting not reenforcing racial and ethnic stereotypes. The routines were riblad but culturally healthy and protected by the first amendment. If they had offended me, I would have changed the channel or watched the commercials to see which companies I needed to schedule for individual economical reprisals.

#3 This is an absolutely dumb way to deal racism. And watch. Just as they felt obliged to add skull caps and large crosses to their ban on head scarves (also stupid) they will now feel obliged to go out and arrest a Christian and a Jewish comic for "balance".
