I almost posted this with my last response, but since you shared that story:
I told my wife an old, off color joke that involved a racial term. It was told in the context of how you can't tell that kind of joke anymore.
She feigned offense at the term so I substituted three or four others for the same group while she sat there staring at me.
At the same time our son walked through...he had zero idea what any of them meant!
It's kind of shocking sometimes what used to get by.. I mean look at MASH. They had a guy called Spear Chucker Jones. Planet of the Apes may be the most racist movie in history if you look at the hierarchy of the apes. Now some people say you couldn't get away with All in the Family, but I think you could because the racist was purposely presented as an ignorant fool by Norman Lear.
