Is this a racist comment?
As some of you may know I am an older man married with kids who is back at College working on my degree. Today before the lecture there was a boy and his girlfriend sitting infront of me who where eating chips. He left and came back before lecture started and he ask his girlfriend if there where any chips left. She said I finished them off. He says" Damn honey those dissapeared faster then rims at a PDiddy concert" There was this young black man who was sitting a row ahead of them and he turns around and starts yelling and calling him a racist for saying that. He said "Why a PDiddy concert? Why not Fallout boy.Is it becasue Black people go to that concert?"

Yes. .... But funny despite the racism.
If Chris Rock had said it we'd all have laughed. I mean, c'mon. |

In the context of the young man in the back, yes, it apparently was.
BTW, is it fun having Michael Richards enrolled in class with you? |

Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned racism is now officially no longer a primary issue. We have a black president.
The comment above, however, is funny.

I think that Black Americans are not racist as a whole, but there is some that are. Just like white people, I don't think white people are racist as a whole. There are racist on both sides.

I guess it could be racist.
Although, it was kinda funny.

I agree it is funny. I personally wouldnt go saying it in public or expecially a College lecture hall.

Personally, I don't think it was particularly racist until the kid who responded turned it into a race issue. The joke insinuated that folks who attend a PDiddy concert may be the type to steal rims. It didn't say black people steal rims. I don't think it's any different than making a joke about pot at a Grateful Dead concert ... I don't think that would suggest that all white people are potheads, even though most people at Dead concerts are, in fact, white. Most of the friends/aquaintences I have who are black I think would have laughed at the PDiddy joke because they aren't the type of person described in the joke, and anyone who's met them would know that. Then again, I don't know the context of the situation you witnessed ... it could be that the kid who made the joke has a reputation of making racist statements and/or is a general jerk, and the kid who got offended had heard previous offensive comments. I.e., there could have been background that made it more offensive than it was on its own.

I thought it was pretty funny!
My friends keep calling me and telling me they have a new development project for me...a KFC...right across from the White House.
