Reply #57: I know you are, BUT

[lapislzi]

at the risk of sounding a dreadful pedant--the fact that people make these kinds of jokes--and other people laugh--suggests a tacit acceptance of the premise in the first place. I object to ethnic humor on the same grounds. It undercuts those of us who have actually suffered. And I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt: I'm sure you would agree that no human being (or animal, judging by your sig line), no matter how objectionable, deserves to suffer violence. Least of all by the one who is supposed to love and cherish him/her.

I don't think I'm explaining myself very well, and I do apologize for that.

I also don't mean to be confrontational; merely to make you aware that some don't find that kind of remark funny, and with good reason.
