Some folks are easy to offend. Some folks are hard to offend. Guess it all depends upon their frame of mind.

The Japanese know how to handle it. They convinced the Jews to co-opt the term, "JAP" as "Jewish American Princess."
See how simple it can be? If someone calls you a nasty name, make an acronym out of it and pass it on.

During the campaign, that's what they were saying about her husband.
Politics is nasty business.

Which proves the point that politicians, actors, lawyers and crooks can be packed into the same trunk without a resulting fight.

I believe MOST would go to great lengths to put space
between them and their Maya roots, at least urban
Mex Nationals, that may be changing though |
Same with middle easterners that claim they are Persian rather then Iranian or Iraqi

Yah, sure ya betcha...the ND jokes are indeed endless, don'tcha ya know?
Adding more fuel to the flame, our new ND License Plate will no longer read 'The Peace Garden State', but will now read:
"55 Below Keeps the Riffraff Out". 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Racism is just one form of contempt.
There is also: you're too fat or too thin. Or you wear glasses (four eyes). Or too rich or too poor. Or too uncoordinated or a jock. Or too cerebral
or too simple.
Remember how statified high school was? From the prom queen to the lowly nerd. Thank god that's over. Why, there's stratification even on this board.
The cultural anthropoligists must have made sense out of all of this and have an explanation that's more appealing than 'good or bad'.
