Certainly it was a classless thing to say but we as a society are way too sensitive to stuff like this! I'd rather worry about what people do rather than what they may say...sure these types of remarks show that all of us have learned the lessons of prejudice and bigotry well and why not...we are bombarded with them from cradle to grave. Say the same thing in a backroom or a board room and everybody laughs...punishing some schmuck for saying something stupid may make us feel better but it's more important to address the process rather than an incident! I do have to laugh when someone brings up Jesse and seems upset cause a black man seems to be treated better than a white man...sorta ironic in context isn't it?
