Um, what is wrong with referring to two married African-American people as a "black couple". Likewise, I see nothing wrong with describing those with obvious Middle-Eastern decent as an "Arab couble". "Asian", "Latino", or...gasp.."French"... they're just descriptions.

If she labled the table as "Woman with crooked teeth" or "Man with toupe", then we wouldn't be having this discussion now, would we?

Another case of the obvious pussification of America. If I was in charge of the news network that you contacted, I'd just laugh at you. Grow up.
Since we're moving into the world of IF, I'll put a frame around your references....

"Man with toupe", "Woman with crooked teeth" is labeled as such on the bill and they happen to be model or actor then that could be libel or defamation of character and can take equal offense to it.

People are free to take offense to what they want to, and they are also equally free to spend their money where they wish.
