    Have you ever given the slightest consideration as to what it might be a minority subjected to light racist abuse in a "joking" manner.

    Of course playing along is the only reaction. Can you imagine how people would react if they were asked politely to stop. People then start saying "can't take a joke", as though the person is being unreasonable.

    Look at how much you folks are getting upset because someone else has been accused of making an inappropriate joke, you can't even handle somebody else being called out on it.

    There you go, I knew if you tried hard enough you could come up with a hilarious reply.

    Predictable but funny never the less

    Your strategy when you can't think of a reasoned response and know you've lost the argument is getting very repetitive. I look forward to seeing it again soon.

    The irony of you accusing someone of being predictable is one of your funnier quips.

    I can’t help getting upset at this. I’m a snowflake.

    Splash, in goes another lump of ground bait.

    I’m only repetitive with those that are so brainwashed they can’t see the point raised.

    I guess the moral to this story is if you are going to have a joke with your mate then don't do it through a medium where the whole world and his dog can see it.
