    This is not funny at all. My wife damn near got fired because she
    referred to her good friend at work as "My little Latin Lucy" as in
    Lucile Ball. Someone went to management and let them know they had a
    bigot and a racist at the firm. This went in her file, and the firm was
    ready to send most of the staff to training at a cost of God knows how
    much. But her friend from Chile,
    went to management and told them "You people in this country are
    STUPID! Did anyone ever ask me if there was a problem?" This all
    started by someone walking past a desk and felt it was their duty to
    save this woman and the firm singlehandedly. Red Hat needs to remember
    it's products will be used in a corporate world that freaks out at the
    drop of a hat, even a red one. The computer you use at work is not
    yours it belongs to the company that paid for it, along with your email
    running on their network.
