I didn't have to take a sensitivity training class to spot something offensive. I think most people know racism or inappropriate when they see or hear it. The question is...where is the line between funny and those are fighting words? I guess somethings are true, anything to make a buck but at who's expense. I personally don't take a lot of things to heart. I believe in freedom of speak even if it differs from my own. However I'm not ok with offending an entire race or culture. As an owner of a graphic t-shirt business I often wonder if any of my graphics will offend anyone. Certain topics are taboo for me. Religion. Race. Disabilities. I won't go there just to sell a t-shirt. There's already plenty of websites that have gone there and brought back the t-shirt to prove it. But am I a hypocrite because I think it's okay to make light of age, sex, or the size of a man's
