I understand the guy in Destor's post's feelings on the matter. It's hard to sit and watch jokes like that for some because they know what guys like Afterlife don't: racism is alive and well. And I'm not talking about cross burning ghosts either.
A lot of white people don't realize that they single non-whites out even in the littlest ways. The most common (and obvious) for black people is when a group of guys are shaking hands and when a white guy goes to shake the black guy's hand, he goes for the complex hand shake, instead of a normal one like he did with everyone else.
People don't say "hey look at that guy", they say "look at that black guy". It may be nothing to you, but it's subconscious descrimination that was programmed into you from an early age. Some non-whites can let it go. The guy in Destor's post can't. Because it has greater reaching effects than awkward social situations.
White people, you don't know how good you have it.
