Subject: RE: BS: Tasteless and Offensive New Yorker?
John,

You described your professor who told ethnic jokes (and other jokes) and the bigoted person who laughed at the ethnic jokes (and other jokes) until they came to her. Then you said we were just like her.

Perhaps you didn't mean to imply that we were the type to ridicule other ethnic groups. But you did.
Perhaps you would like to refine your position?

Of course you found it funny Doug. It was aimed at people like you. My complaint is that that the New Yorker lied and said that it was aimed at people like me.

If it was a typo, wouldn't it be better to apologize for making the error and move on?
