I'd agree with most of you, this is a parody, satire type thing. She/He's making fun of people who are really snooty and have narrowminded views.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that someone would NEVER make a joke about african americans or jews like that. I can think of plenty of satirical articles in magazines that play off of racial/religious stereotypes to make something funny. Whether or not its funny is another topic, but when something is parodying something or someone else, I don't think anyone's safe.
And not to bitch, but why do people always back up a complaint with "until you've walked a mile in my shoes...."???? I'm sorry but we all have problems, everybody has stuff to deal with in their life, regardless of what race or ethnicity you are.
