Not that I'd be any less offended if it were a man. But sweet Christ, in this day and age, if all it takes for someone to feel superior is to identify/exploit what they feel is a "flaw" in others, I just want to know why half the population didn't feel like Rodney King's "Can't we all just get along?" plea didn't apply to them.
