It's okay to be offended by this.
If for some it invokes thoughts of a disgusting oppression of an entire race, then yes it's okay to be offended by such a picture and comment.

Surely - you're [i]offended[/i] by the [i]disgusting oppression of an entire race[/i], rather than the picture, which has quite helpfully invoked those thoughts. In which case the picture is a good thing and not offensive in the slightest.

I am truly offended! as I'm slow and don't see why I can't carry a minor celebrity down t shops like them fast people. Them fast people they get everything an the y never share stuff out with us slowcoaches. They get all the medals, all the best joggin shoes, best bikes, best this best that, there always on the telly. I'm sick of fast people an there medals! I want a slow Olympics, well if I can get of the sofa I do.
