I think that the downvotes have nothing to do with the joke you mention. Your comment doesn't add any value to the discussion, we are aware of the things you highlight.

Good! Good! Then I wholly expect to see every comment that is stating an obvious concept to now be down modded off of this site. That's really healthy for discussion.

You understand that users are the ones downvoting you, as a relatively inactive user you don't have a downvote button but many of us do and don't like complaints (about downvotes) or broad generalizations ("culturally regressive") that don't add to the discussion.

I was with you until you started attacking an entire ethnicity.

Thank-you, I did not realize that. I feel a bit better now about the down votes in that light.

As for you last comment though... are you sure you meant ethnicity? Maybe you meant demographic?
