That's like placing an absolute value on language, when we know it is
all in how you interpret it - the context of *anything* is the most
important component. Making fun of "fat chicks" or "skinny geeks" or
any other stereotype is just wrong, even if it is "just electrons on a
disk." Mein Kampf was just words on a page, and look what that led to.
