sexual orientation issue

[Faith No More]

Listen, I can take a joke as well as anyone. I found this particular comment disgustingly offensive, because of the negative stereotyping involved.
( a ) I was born in Mexico,
( b ) In my extensive experience all over that Country, I never perceived bestiality to be ignored, let alone tolerated or encouraged.
( c ) The odds are that there are at least as many bestiality enthusiasts in the U.S. as there are in Mexico (remember, Mexico has about a third of the population of the U.S., and it is also a more socially conservative Country), and
( d ) It shocked me, because I had assumed that participants in an Atheist forum would be among the least likely to harbor these kinds of xenophobic attitudes. How would you feel if somebody in this forum made a joke about "how greedy Jews are", or "how lazy are the Blacks" ? Are those also permissible "jokes"?

Perhaps I shouldn't have lashed out quite that hard, but surely you can see my point.

Listen, I get it. But it wasn't a generalization at all about Mexico or Mexican people, just a joke about the perceived notion about bestiality as entertainment there. Honestly, if someone else made stereotyping statements about Jews or blacks, my first impression would be that it was a joke. If they did it again, then I would think maybe they were racist.

I apologize if you took my poor attempt at comedy as xenophobic, but I suggest next time you see something offensive, engaging in a conversation about it to find out more about the person's true beliefs before telling them to stick something in their rectum. Personally, I think racial stereotypes are great fodder for comedy and nothing more.
