I agree, I find racist statments like that to be very offensive.
If a person chooses to behave a particular way to fit in with a peer group or to express an opinion I'm ok with that as long as that behaviour doesn't infringe on others abilities to express their opinions.
So if a green wants to act mauve or a beggar wants to act rich then I'm all for it. Let people be who they choose to be and don't peg them into a stereotype based on where they grew up or what colour their skin is.
