My wife posted a photo in a text message among my family of my daughter's newborn baby yawning. I thought it made him look like a Chinese baby, and said that as a comment. I then got "quit being racist" comments back from two of my daughters, so I searched on Google for a photo of a Chinese baby yawning, and it looked just like the grandbaby :) One daughter then said it was weird for me to be searching for a photo of a Chinese baby yawning, so I told her I did it to show that the baby LOOKS LIKE A CHINESE BABY YAWNING! Anybody else love their children, but don't really like them? :) On a more serious note, does anyone else sense that this generation under 40 has been programmed to be offended by everything that deviates from some narrow range of supposedly acceptable behavior, comments, etc. (but they have no problem with ridiculous tattoos and piercings)

What got me is that it certainly isn't racist to think a random photo of anyone, at any age, looks like a race different from what they are! It's funny to consider that it is actually racist of my daughter to think such a comment is racist. (and I grew up with two older brothers, so know what you are talking about when it comes to how guys related to each other :) )
