i would like to emphasize what gabe said...it seems to me that while it is
one thing to poke fun at various 'norms' it is in fact 'dangerous' to do
so when it concerns minorities. the not so distant memory of nazi germany
and its treatment of any but the "master race" should serve as a reminder
of what humans are capable of doing to one another. the memory of slavery
in our country is but one other example. poking fun of the victims in
either (any) case serves to excuse those resposible for the oppressing.
  
so....RELAX?....hardly!!!
 
i would suggest that steve think hard about what his real feelings are
toward Blacks (sic negro) and what he would be capable of doing if he
finds such things so humorous.
