Again, I'd like to see evidence of what you guys would consider racism from him. I'm aware racists tend to veil themselves a little more these days, however, it isn't much of a veil as anyone with adequate blood flow to their medulla can see through it. And for me, humor is humor. Don Rickles is one of my favorite comedians of all time, and I enjoy even his most racially charged material. Does that mean I hold his jokes as axiomatic parables for reality? No, it means I find that sort of comedy entertaining and funny. Having a racial sense of humor or making racist jokes doesn't make you a racist. Unless you actually believe in the superiority or inferiority of one or more races over or under others, you're not racist.
