I guess so. And I can see the harmlessness and true point of Joe's statement that has nothing to do with racism.
But since I can also see how it can be also be taken poorly as a racist remark, I might think twice before I said it on national TV.
I appreciate Joe had only 1 night's warning of glory-filled dream sleep before being thrust onto the national stage. But if he had a clue about recent history and Katie Couric (cough*Palin*cough) he might have still been a tad more carful about his words.
