I don't understand how KSig RC can say that racially motivated jokes or name-calling aren't considered racist. Racially motivated remarks are racist, no matter what race they are from or against. I don't think anyone would be ok with my walking up to them on the street or in the mall and saying "Hey there, Count Chocula" or sneering when they walk by and making some comment about fried chicken and koolaid. Negative comments about another race, gender, sexuality, nationality, etc...shouldn't be tolerated, and I don't find them at all amusing.
I think it's just as bad that people can't comment on someone's race or skin tone without others automatically saying they're racist. There's nothing wrong with identifying somone by saying "The blonde over there" or "The boy with the red hair"...but as soon as someone says "The black girl with the blue coat," people just think, "Oh, you aren't supposed to say stuff like that." Why not?
