i think that every needs to remember that any type of quote can be offensive to another person. take something seemingly innocent like religion and someone somewhere is going to be offended.
there are many, many phrases that when you hear them for the 1st time, you are offended. even if you know that it isnt the best or most PC phrase to use, hearing XYZ phrase 50 times a week, you can, as much as you hate it, become immune to it. does it mean that you are a crude person? no.
down here there are many terms and phrases that are used, by everyone, that you just get used to it. doesnt mean that you go around referring to myself as a gringo or a guero, but i dont get offended as much anymore.
is it offensive, yes, but not to everyone. different people have different standards and levels of respect, as anyone could tell by reading some of the previous posts (ie JesusPimp)
those are my 2 cents and feel free to slap me in the face, tell me how wrong i am, whatever.
just because opinions are free doesnt mean you have to take them. mine or anyones.
