I didn't see how it was racist. I think some people on this forum are more racist-sensative than the people who COULD take offense who are members of this board due to it being potentially directed at their race...

I mean, the guy down at the gas station wears a turbin. I'm sure in some neighborhoods/areas, it may appear that a person wearing a turbin is on every corner pedaling crap that no one should consider buying. So, there could be truth to what he's saying.

On the flip side,
How is the comment of "americans are easy" (to rip off) - not a racist comment?

I'm an american, and actually, I found that a bit more offensive than anything else in that post. Just pointing out an obvious double-standard and hypocrasy.

All the political-correctness should be left to the politicians. Words are words, it's the tone of use that makes them hurt, not their use.

...just saying.
