People, this argument is getting stupid. How did we get to calling each other prejudiced? I laughed at stereotypical jokes before, but I stop at the vile, derogatory words. Does that make me prejudiced, maybe, maybe not. There is a fine line between funny and offensive. The point is, no matter what, someone is going to be offended by something, but that does not mean one should not make jokes, but, just know when to stop. It does help when people point out what is offending them, especially if the person making the jokes were socially awkward. It is the same with the media. It is pretty much impossible to make a show or film, write a book, etc. without offending someone. The only thing that can be done is learn when things are taken too far. It is basically Kenny Rogers' song, "The Gambler." One has to know "when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, when to walk away, and when to run."
