So it was a cheap shot.

Cheap shot? I'd say it was a shot with your eyes closed. It wasn't even in the firing range.

I'll throw in a comment at no additional charge.

There's quite a bit of joking over here, ethnic jokes, sexual jokes, transvestite jokes [he's even got his own show]. By and large, people laugh and move on.

IMO, the ability to have this type of joking comes from, they don't hang gays from barbed wire like they do in Wyoming; they don't drag blacks with chains with a pickup truck until their head separates from the body.

If you treat people with dignity [and don't kill them], you can make ethnic jokes, etc. without people over reacting.
