your right, it wasn't called for. (and as for the you wouldn't statement, I
actually would. But that's me as I am a non-white-anglo-middle-class-male) and
my belief is that if ppl were to get over this idea that you can't joke about

problem. (but that's just an opinion and I shouldn't push it onto others)
