Here's the link to the article. Somehow even funnier in print.

"You'll notice, I didn't have anybody being Arab. I thought that would be too explosive, uh, no pun intended. But I just thought, "too soon" for Arabs, maybe next year. You know, the ball's in their court."
Thank you Michael Scott. Thank you.

I had a perfect story to call in and share, had I not been at work.
A few years ago my mom was at work. One of her coworkers, an African American woman, said she'd do a task for my mom. Awhile later, the woman came back, apologized, and said she wouldn't be able to get to it that day. A different coworker, nearby, jokingly said, "Don't say that, otherwise you'll be a reneger!"
Everybody stood still, silent, stunned, unsure of what to say. Thankfully the black lady started to laugh, which sort of broke the tension.
EDIT:
After thinking about it, I figured I better correct my spelling on the word. Thanks for pointing out the spelling error, fistor.

I'm normally not one to be a grammar nazi, but in this case, I think it's warranted: it's "reneger".

I figured I spelled it wrong, but wasn't able to check it from this computer. Don't have ispell installed on here (and the IT Police won't let me install it).
