That's sort of a test right there. Would this Boomer guy have made this crack if Tootoo was in the room? I seriously doubt it, and not just because he'd probably his ass kicked, but because he knew it was offensive.
As for the whole "I hate PC, everyone takes offense too easy" theme we've heard, I agree to some extent, but let's turn scenario this around a bit.
Say we all catch wind of a couple sportscasters in Nashville talking about Our Local Hero And Captain and one of them casually mentions that Jarome grew up in a housing project selling crack, because that's what black kids do.
How funny (or harmless) would we think that is?
