JR, I don't think racism is about "making fun of..".  I don't see the commercial as inflicting violence against, nor suppressing, someone, so that would not have been correct, either.  My point was, we, as a society, need to stop looking at ethnicity for differences, and just look at each other as fellow human beings.  I despise racism, but I do believe (here come the attacks!) Obama furthered racism, instead of diffusing it.
