I really believe we've become a nation of overly sensitive wimps. I'm not calling you a wimp my friend but when we start cringing at the sound of syllables forming a word then we've probably taken the sensitivity thing a bit too far.

Sorry, I'm the guy that would tell all the PC police to go get laid or have a drink and stop wetting themselves every time they hear or see something MIGHT be taken as offensive by maybe one person in the crowd.
I'm also the guy who gets tired of my kid being taught that everyone deserves a trophy just for showing up. We should reward achievement, not attendance.

Don't think it's racist or funny. You have to be looking for it if you do. If the word was "watermelon" or "weave" then yeah, but you are looking for stereotypes if you think uppity is funny. You were probably the only one who cringed.
