I keep hearing this line of thought...we're just creating a parody based on presumably liberal not so racist L.A. Times writer. This fact alone makes the whole thing inoffensive. If anything we should all get together, have a sing-along and a laugh. People are putting too much stock in what the term " Magic Negro" means, the lyrics of the song, and Rush "Fountain of Wisdom" Limbaugh. We're getting too PC in this country and it's sad.
