It looks like most of us got the joke and don't see any racism, just humour of the absurd. It's a quite common form of humour attaching some wicked will to objects when they malfunction, in this particular case the most obvious joke was attaching as reason for that presumed fault racism. But hey, saying that an object became racist is absurd enough that the joke should be got quite easily

Yes but the reaction in thread of people actually believing it is why this is a very bad joke to begin with. I see your point, but in the UK here if you so much as say black you get nicked. And it's a white origin country. Go figure.

UK is very very PC.

I know, every now and then even here in Italy newspapers write about the n-th issue about PC in UK crossing the frontier with lunacy, like Ed Balls not wanting that teachers mentioning mum and dad with pupils

Yep UK is seriously screwed up with political correctness. Even Monty Python is no longer shown on BBC. And it's true british comedy.

Monty Python's no longer on BBC? What has the world come to?!

Good thing I have the entire Flying Circus on DVD.

Thank God I live in the US where you may get your ass kicked, but it's still your right to call anyone anything you like as long as it's on cable tv and not over the air :p

In case anyone did not know. All the Flying Circus episodes are available for streaming through Netflix.

LOL there is no more "over the air" =) Its all digital now

That's a really bad problem when you're black like me lmfao
