I think context is very important. If you can't joke about things like these with friends then its no wonder race relations in the US is so shit right now.

Racism shouldnt be joked about. The guy is racist and you're probably racist for defending him.

And is racism because?

The goal of socialism isn't for everyone to be equal.  Most developed countries actually are practicing some forms of socialism.  Even in the US there is lots of socialism just not the right kind since most of it is corporate socialsm where huge corporations get huge tax breaks or get a subsidy for producing certain goods.  Also if you look at the yearly happines index the top 10 contries are usually the ones that have lots of socialism. 

True, but some here may choke if they knew this.

Even more when the "socialism" there is granted based on plenty of resources that doesn't depend on the efforts and inovation of the workers right? Or that there were a lot of richness created before as well.
