I never said it wasn't offensive.
Listen, when I watch a news report or something of a more serious nature, then I have a different set of standards. I expect them to be more cognizant of the feeling and plight of others. Iexect them to take what they are doing and their affect on other seriously.
But wrestling is good, clean , mindless humor. I know better than for the WWE and its writers to live up to any kind of standard whatsoever. I didn't get offended when Triple H mocked Booker T's "nappy hair" and called him to "come out and dance for me, boy." I don't get offended by Eddie Guerrero's character being based on avery Latino stereotype in the book...I'm sure many fans don't even realize that Eddie doesn't talk that way and barely speaks Spanish.
I don't get offended because I understand it's mindless humor and entertainment for the sake of entertainment. It's not meant to be taken seriously. I want to say that these people should just lighten up, but they have a right to be offended if they choose. But I would also suggest changing the channel from now on because the WWE isn't becoming MasterPiece Theatre anytime soon.
