36 now!

Yeah, cause we all know those savage, knuckle dragging blacks would sodomize us.

Thank you. If an African can appreciate a good joke about african slavery (which certainly has to rank up there among the most horrible, truly racist events/ phenomena ever), then nobody has any business getting their knickers in a knot about Darnell's joke about slant eyes.

Good thing there's the Second Amendment so I can defended myself when the Racism Police come looking for me. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

At no point did I reference freedom of speech or slippery slope arguments.

Because I have a kinja account and you're reading my idiotic posts.

So if Darnell's joke had been funnier, it would have ceased being racist and would then be "smart"? So Darnell gets called a racist dummy because his joke wasn't funny enough for deadspin?

That reeks of elitism and segregation. All posters are equal, but some are more equal than others? Maybe we should put less popular commenters in work camps or have them build railroads across the western US?

I'm arguing that people shouldn't pretend to get offended when a joke is told (or tweeted) in an effort to demonstrate how inclusive/tolerant/forward-thinking they are.

It's funny to make fun of all groups, particularly considering how irrational people get when they are "offended" by a stupid joke.

Why can't I be a moronic troll?

Yeah, but some of my best friend have iphones, so it's cool.

Better luck next time with your "attempts."

Or what? You'll kill yourself?

So you are saying a reasonably well adjusted person (asian or otherwise) should be offended by a sophomoric joke about the physical characteristics common to a group of people?

Agreed.

Seeing as how some if my family members have suffered from mental illness and committed suicide, how dare you make such a joke?

I thought it was pretty funny. Not knee slapping, anchorman 2 funny, but good enough for a chuckle.

Since the US is still at war with north Korea (a ceasefire was agreed to, but no peace treaty), why isn't anyone talking about charging Rodman with treason?

So "overt racism" now includes saying a single word while drunk? Or do you know of other racist conduct cooper has engaged in?
