02/28/2009: "Clint Eastwood fears humorless people branding him a "racist""
Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humourless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive.
The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him "a racist".
"People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
[ I know others to whom it is a cause of offense to imply they are NOT a racist. It could cause quite a bit of cognitive disonnance if we expressed outrage at such an implication. Excuse me!!! Are you saying I'm not a racist?!1! ]
