Political correctness vilification strikes again. I think we all know the difference between real prejudice and racism and a joke. How wearisome. And this is not about if it's funny or not. It's about knowing--knowing--what the intentions were of these people who tweeted that joke from the show, but deciding to be offended anyway. That feels likes an abuse of the situation there. Play the victim and make it that much harder for the real thing to be taken seriously.
Thanks. That's helpful to everyone. *sarcastic slow clap*
