damn, can't edit the post...

ps: makes me think again, you are serious about the 'racist' thing?
I assume most of you are able to put things into perspective and in the right context?
Talking about an Italian bike, on a bike forum, with 3 other options suggesting were're again talking about bikes..

It really made me think about my best mate who has been living in the States since 2011 or so, first in NY than in San Francisco.
He lives there with this girlfriend for his business wich has and is becoming more and more a succes story, he even obtained dual citizenship and has about 100 employees.

And when he comes back to Belgium for the holidays etc he sometimes shares nice anekdotes and how its like to live in the States.
One of the biggest things he noticed is the sense of humor thing Smile
Sarcasme and certain topics are very well not-done, whereas in Europe they can be told knowing its not serious at all.
For example he said something to a female employee wich was considered very sexist but was nut to be take serious at all, cannot remember what it was he said, but I think it was some kind of expression.

Those little incidents did make him aware of the sensitivities and cultural differences between America and Europe he said.
It was even that serious that the female employe could charge him for abuse of some kind, yikes.
I was a bit surprised since the East and West coast are seen here in Europe as the more "European minded" parts of the US and you guys are the creators of The Simpsons and South Park.
Wait a minuit, South Park is created by Canadians right? Smile

It depends on what region, state you're in. San Francisco may as well be a different country when trying to compare values to other areas of the US. Most anywhere in the southeast, Georgia in my case, no one really cares about such silliness as political correctness. Say most anything that comes to mind as long as you can look someone in the eye when you say it. A hostile statement may require reflection first as to whether it's a hill your ready to die on however.
