I think there is some merit to the sentiment, although not sure I would tie it to political party. There are plenty of conservatives who would not have made that gesture and plenty of liberals who would have.

You read my post pretty accurately.
Mike is half-Asian, so his pseudo outrage is understandable. When Mike stops being such an asshole and isn't always trying to garner some kind of reaction from people, then I might actually take him seriously. Hell...even when he says he's being serious, he can rarely to be trusted that he is.
I agree that in this age of uber-sensitivity that people should be smarter than that to make those kinds of gestures or to use certain words.
I also believe that Political Correctness has been way out of hand for a long time.
How does one reconcile the 2?
