44. Sick...but racist? I don't see a mention of race in the whole thing...

If you're saying the dog and King Kong references are racist, that's a bit of a stretch...those are words from the original song.

I understand that what's in the news is making everyone race-sensitive right now, but if everything is racist, then nothing is racist.

I personally feel we're starting to lean a little bit towards crying wolf, and if we get there, we're going to lose people's understanding, sympathy, and justified anger towards real racism.
