Everyone has a different moral compass, and the way I see it, just because you don't approve of it doesn't automatically make it wrong. It just makes it offensive to you.

I fail to see how, exactly, you could justify censoring this kind of thing just because you're offended by it.

Are you directly talking to me or to the first poster? My post was talking to sirus, and reverse racism is what things like giving minorities advantages over 'white' students for example is called.
It is racism if you give white students equal or better opportunities, but not racist to disadvantage them the other way.

If you disadvantage the black, is it reverse racism as well? Anyway, I'm completely agree with the author, exaggerated stereotypes is not racism (it's not like every black is in a ghetto) And even those in the ghetto should be able to laugh at that

Hence 'reverse' racism. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> So taking away the black peoples' freedoms wasn't racist?
