So, Does This Mean I Can Refer to Mr. Freilich as "Seth the Jew"?

According to Clint Eastwood, there's just not enough racist humor anymore.

In former times we constantly made jokes about different races.

'You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist.

'I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a "Sam the Jew" or "Jose the Mexican" - but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought.

'It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem.

''I don't want to be politically correct. We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything.'

Wow, Eastwood. You know what else you had in those "earlier days"? Separate but equal. Chinese internment camps. And Jim Crowe laws. Funny times, weren't they, old man? You know what's still politically correct? Geriatric jokes. You know what's great about Alzheimers, Clint? You get to meet new people every day.

Hey-O!
