Kristoff, I read what Ramses posted before you "edited" it. It was clearly a joke, and I have heard much worse. I think you did not need to edit it. I suppose now you are going to edit my posting here. Maybe you should get a job with FOX news or the CIA.
When you start monitoring the boards, you can make those choices. Right now, I am making those judgements, along with a few others.
Just because you do not find offense with a joke doesn't mean it isnt offensive. Clearly it was a joke, but one in very poor taste, and which insulted many different people. (It is like dealing with the kid who says: "But everyone is doing it.." So should you be allowed to be a jerk too in our home?) For those of you who did catch the joke, I take a lot of it close to home: Adoptive dad is French Jew, business partner is Mexican, the man I live with is Croat, I am an immigrant, and two of my nephews and one neice are black. Nowdays, it is wise to keep nasty jokes private.
