B&D I've revoked the part of the comment with a racist angle and explained the intentions behind posting are not race related.
Do excuse me, In my circle of young friends, in the TA (now) and a few years back growing up at school the banter was often quite harsh, and you'd have a go at anyone for any reason even if it didn't make sense. Of course in a group of friends you all know each other enough to know that it's all light hearted and the intention of the person saying the stuff is not discriminatory against any race, religion, gender etc., but just a dig at that person for fun. That was my intention.
However it doesn't work on an internet forum, you either come of as a racist or a troll unless there is an established joke. Even then anyone not 'in' on the joke will be even more upset because they will think racism is being tolerated. I apologise for any offense caused but I hope you can see where i'm coming from.
