I was amused by the fark stuff. The first comment was kinda dumb, but I loved the reply:

"You've got the top PennDOT engineering brains looking at it," Mr. Bonstedt said. "I'm sure the post-mortem will tell us exactly what went wrong."

There is so much wrong with that statement I'll just leave it at this: I have been to numerous PennDots, and every single one hires two types of people:
1. Mentally Retarded (seriously)
2. "Shaniqua" the biatchy woman that won't even look at you or talk to you as she is supposed to be helping you out. She's too busy talking to the person next to her about what her baby daddy is up to, or who got shot.

Also- in PA more then 80% of bridges are not up to standards. Penn Dot takes an average of 5-7 years to complete any road work. (seriously) I moved to MD and between June and October they had built an entire new overpass by my house, and it is beautiful! Stone accents, iron decorative gaurd rails.. and they were working on it EVERY DAY! It is not uncommon to see a PennDot project get started, then go untouched for up to a year. (See: Leader's Heights exit on 83, or the 81/83 split as examples)

Umm.. when did I make a racist comment?

I am shocked, shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that using terms like Shaniqua and "baby-daddy" would be considered racial stereotyping. This whole Political Correctness thing has gone too far. Can't we make our implied denigrations in peace?

Of course, someone else explained it straight:

You described in offensive terms and tone a woman with traits associated in our culture with the character of a poor, uneducated, self-righteous black woman. Absolutely no one here will believe for a second that you had in mind a white or race-neutral person.

Out of all the characters you could have picked, you picked her. Your list contained all of two entries, and lumping your stereotypical Shaniqua in with the retarded is a strong implication of how you feel about her.

Not that I needed to explain any of this to you. You think that there's nothing wrong with pointing out "the truth", only "the truth" is, in your case, a racist stereotype.

You made a racist statement, QED.

So don't use racial sterotypes, dumbasses.
