Like Joe Biden's opening salvo, the Rex Bohn cartoon is a tad over the top (Mailbox, April 25). So he made a mild racially sensitive joke. So what!

It's too bad that today we have to be looking over our shoulders every time we indulge in friendly banter. And it's a pity that anyone should pay any attention to the correctness police who wake up each morning looking to find something or someone to offend them.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that the people who are after Rex's head are the same ones who pushed for the McKinley statue to be removed from the Arcata Plaza.
