Probably so....I was thinking just that: It is human nature to make fun of each other, especially people different than us physically, racially, socially, economically, etc. Not that it makes it nice...it is not..... and it is not for me to comment if it is "right" or "wrong" to do so...I am not the morality police (and not an elder anymore either..
)
as to the joke, I admit I laughed...not because of supposed "racist" overtones...but at the ingenuity of Jose...and the stupidity of the people who keep giving Jose $10. Hey, if the government can keep taking fools money via the Lottery and the casinos can keep taking fools money...why not Jose for coming up with a pretty good idea to take care of his family. Nothing illegal.....more power to him.
oh...that's right...it was just a joke.....
