I'm not the type to get hung up on racial jokes, I love to make fun of everyone, including myself, and especially of Americans that get taboo from talking about racial matters. I understand how uncomfortable it may feel for your "father" to call people out on their flaws when he receives money from them. It's reminiscent of my querido Mexico. I'm not even sure I would turn down a couple of dollars from sketchy people either, but it is wrong that he can consider some rich old white fart' opinion and disregard that of just hard working individuals. In conclusion, jokes on shooting people is simply not funny.
