Dead Pan Humor and PC Discrimination
Random person:
"Yeah, I don't think I can date someone who is Republican"
Group of friends:
Nodding in agreement
Me:
"I know, I feel the same way about Muslim chicks too."
Same group of friends:
Dead silence
Is dead pan humor and biting mockery just lost on people these days?

Too subtle or too honest in the sarcasm (not honest in that you'd never date a Muslim)?
That sort of blanket statement occurs on this site everyday, however.
The first person I fell in love with was a Republican. He also drove a Camero. Oh god... memories. Shut up, I was very young!

I think the difference here is that your friends were being dead serious. ;-)
