When will it ever end?  First the sexist joke, then the homophobic joke,
and now an incredibly racist joke.  I first heard this "joke" told about
a trapper in Arkansas named LeRoy.  I do not know how you can go through
life with your hidden assumptions about other people, but stop forcing
your narrow views on the rest of us!  Your joke in the subject line said
it was offensive to muskrats and feminists, but you deliberately left
out stating it was offensive to minorities.  This patriarchal sleight of
hand is to be condemned by all right thinking human beings.

And for those of you with the brains of a young blowfish, this piece was
SATIRE!  OK.  What a bunch of humorless mental midgets.  Bleah.
