LETTER: Comments weren’t racist
To the editor:
I have spent the most part of a day last week, laughing at the forum letter “Racist remarks are disturbing.” I suspect the remark made by the Statesman writer was not at all intended to be racist. Much of the column is fast-paced humor. By definition, in fact, I know lots of people that qualify as “bastards.” I would even call myself a bastard. Lighten up. The comment was not meant to hurt. Cultural insensitivity is the holocaust, not a joke in a college paper.
