For the record I don't think the original photo was racist, nor am I offended, but I have zero authority to decide what offends or feels racist to other people. I just think it's dumb to do anything that could offend someone... because someone will be offended. It's also just not how I would want my program portrayed...
Also I'm a complete nerd and I think it's ridiculous to be offended by "nerd day."
This post shows how stupid we've gotten in this country. On the one have we shouldn't do anything that COULD offend someone. On the other hand. You also said that you have zero authority to decide what is offensive. Then only a couple of sentences later, you state that it's ridiculous to be offended by nerd day.
So is it everyone's right to be offended and make that determination or not?
