I’m Australian so we don´t have this problem. However, is it racist to comment about an action that is done by (the majority) of certain people? Would this even be an issue if I was mimicking say an Italian gesture and saying Don’t get all Mario on me. As an outsider to America, all I can say is that I think black people (to a certain extent understandably) seem to be hyper-sensitive about the color of their skin. In Australia I think we understand that we are not all the same and that there are generalizations that are true to certain cultures and/or races, and it’s fine to poke fun at people as long as it’s done in a non-aggressive way. (I wouldn’t call a stranger a wog for example, but would feel fine saying it to an Italian friend).
