One of my cousins posted this on Facebook once in reference to where he worked and I asked him if he had confirmed the building was indeed male and if it had made overtures to him of a sexual nature.

I wasn't quite that articulate in my comment but it sent a message without blowing it all out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, I have a problem with this statement because it's offensive but I also look at the intention of the person saying it. Were they really trying to disrespect an entire group of people or were they just tossing it off as just another word for "dumb"?

It needs to disappear from the vernacular, though. Nobody says, "that's so black" or "that's so Jewish" so it needs to go.
