I guess I just felt that would personalize the point for him, but I felt like a pussy for doing it. Like if members of my family weren't black, I wouldn't care. Anyhoo, it shut him up, so I suppose that is good.

I do the same thing with idiots who tell gay jokes. And don't get me started on Aristocratic Mexicans.
