Sarcasm or not, your post is racially insensitive, hence the downvotes.

Sorry? I am pointing the fact that I thought it was at minima "outdated", if not racist to reffer to native american as indians, the downvotes comes from people thinking it is ok to call them indians and I am being too sensitive to raise this issue.

Anyway I think HN is a good source of information, and I enjoy it, but there is something that is probably inherit to all vote based online platform that turns social online interactions in the same way, interesting fact. I will stay a passive user when my karma reaches 0. Peace.

The main issue here is that you made a joke about race. It wasn’t funny, and was extremely distasteful. If this is still lost on you, then I suggest you take a moment to educate yourself on the matter and consider why this was offensive to so many people.

Is the list of the safe topics to make jokes published somewhere?

Obviously not, but I think it’s pretty straightforward: use common sense. If you think someone might take offense, then don’t say it.

Anyone might take offense, that's the point. Offense is taken, not given.
