which, of course, is true in a PC world. thats a fine PC answer.
but just for giggles n'shits, replace the race characteristic with some other adjective. fat. short. thin. slow. uncoordinated. poor. religious. ugly. liberal. rich.
they're all the same. they're all characteristics that differentiate one grouping from another, that potentially leave themselves open to insults, simply because they differentiate us. race is simply one of the more sensitive issues.
technically, in this same PC wolrd, you should never make fun of anyone. any such comment is wrong.
but everyone does it. there wouldn't be all that much to laugh at if y'didn't! every other post on this forum is someone mocking someone else.
in my opinion, you're only wrong if you're hurting someone's feelings -- thus all tying into my initial point, that it all comes down to your environment.
its an unpopular view, sure. but nothing short of honest.
