Then you have never spent time with special needs kids. Most haven’t so most don’t find this especially offensive. In most social situations making fun of the impaired is either laughed at or at least tolerated so long as it is among friends and out of the public ear.

Not cool at all in my inconsequential opinion, but hey what the hell. He was just making fun trying to connect with regular folks and all.

People use “retarded” and “gay” as epithets and get away with it. I call them on it. They always say - wow, I didn’t know it would offend you. I say, “Well, now you know.”
