I was in the Air Force, and we all went to school. We all know what goes on amongst a bunch of guys who have to endure not the most pleasant circumstances - the sort of bad jokes and things said in extremely bad taste by non-famous comedians.
I challenge any person to swear that they have never uttered a swear word or made racist remarks.
As I've maintained a million times, a racist remark said in anger, or irony, or sarcasm, or tasteless witticism (a la David Bullard) doesn't make someone a racist. Real racists are very easy to identify. Their vitriol is obvious on a daily basis. The way they treat the people they discriminate against is also quite obvious. Name-calling is a dead give-away.
Anyway, since when was the world innocent? Look at what is happening in the Middle East right now?
Newspapers etc who make money selling salacious stories of how 'guilty' and 'racist' some people are when they reflect some of the ordinary sentiments echoed at times by all of us is in very bad taste. It's hypocrisy. Jeepers - grow up!
