Clint Eastwood Longs For The Good Old Days

Clint Eastwood recently told the London Daily Express that "[i]n former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist." What does he miss saying? "In those earlier days every friendly clique had a 'Sam the Jew' or 'Jose the Mexican'--but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don't want to be politically correct."

Ah, the good old days (not so good for everyone).
