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.
