Was it tasteless, thats for each to decide.
should this come from a mayor to a colleauge - no, its unprofessional in my book.
we truly need to get over this stuff and I always found humor to be a good way to recognize difference in its place.

Right, it might be considered unprofessional, or improper, but not racist...My father's side of the family is Lebanese and Arabic, I was at a bar with my cousin (who looks like he is straight off the boat, you know, bald shiny head, dark skin, big nose...) and a few others. There was a little disruption at which point in time an antagonizer called my cousin a "Sand-Monkey," we all started laughing as we hadn't heard that one before...do you consider us racists? We found humor in it, people should give two %$%$%$%$s about crap like that, in the end, it doesn't mean anything, just words...
