A lot of serious things are said in \"jest\", Racisim in everyday life.
Recently I just head the following...
<2+2er> he meant gold stars <2+2er> see, the nazis had flair that they made the jews wear... I understand this behavior is usually passed down from generation to generation. However, what can we do to stop it? Why do people say such things? Are their lives that miserable that they have to look down and mock people of other sects and creeds to make themselves feel better? Why does the lack of education or intelligence still shine through in this century in statements like this? I have never in my 33 years understood racism and never will.

Also I just reread the post and realized I do not understand what is "racist" about any of this... ??

I completely agree with Joe Tall. Some people say to chill out, but the fact is, it just hinders the progress to the day where racism is completely eliminated. The people who say things like this are always teh first to say that they are the LEAST xenophobic/racist people in the world.

Looking for the easy one size fits all answer, or signal as to who people are and what they're about, isn't a good idea.
