Even if he did say it without the intent of it being humorous, he was asked by the driver where and what he likes to eat around Lafayette. He may have intentionally inserted the pork products served into the conversation, but do you believe he should have intentionally left out of the conversation the pork products he enjoys out of fear of disrespecting the man's religion? I just don't know where some would draw the line. Like I said, I probably wouldnt have pointed out strictly pork products (even though I think it is funny) but I wouldn't have intentionally left it out either.
It depends on the intent. I wouldn't likely leave something out of a conversation out of "fear" of disrespecting someone, but I wouldn't add something for the intentional purpose of disrespecting him either. In this case, he answered the driver with where he likes to eat. He could have even mentioned he loves the pork chops, they are soooo good. But to continuously list all the pork products with the intent of making the stranger uncomfortable is where I would draw the line. It seems rude to me. This has nothing to do with color or religion to me, just common courtesy. I also don't talk about my favorite ways to copulate in front of strange women because it would make them feel uncomfortable and make me look like a creep. Same concept to me.
