I think that is the problem with modern society, its to damn sensitive.

Having respect for each other and tolerating each others' nuisances is one thing, but these days you can't make a joke or a cartoon about a particular group or people without it immediately feeling like some form of racism or attack.

We Dutch people make a lot of jokes about our neighbours to the South; Belgium, and they on their turn make jokes about us Dutch people.
Do I feel offended? Not at all, so we have a little bit of fun about each other, I don't hate Belgians and I don't think most Belgians hate us either.
The same goes for Germans, there is always something about each others' people in general you can laugh about without it being some hidden racial hatred.

I think if I had been in charge of the new Bionic Commando project I would have put the Nazis and resurrected Hitler in it just to flip the bird at censorship.
