By one definition, it would be accurate to call the war between the Israelis and the Palestinians racist. To call the bad joke racist is absurd. Racism is a very strong word that means hating a person down to his very bloodline; a true belief that the other person is somehow less then human. Hitler and Malcom X were racist, the teller of that joke is not. Do you know why you get called a liberal if you protest? Because liberals have faulty senses of humor, and are too quick to see people in the poorest light, and foolishly see themselves as having some special understanding when they are more often just parroting what they read or heard, without serious thought. When YOU stop hating those who differ with you, you might understand that people have different ideas that are not as hateful as you think.
