Couldn't disagree more. Context does matter. It's all important.
It was in response to a much-more-obviously degrading, elitist remark about nuking an entire area...and obviously sarcastic in nature. In context, it was in defense of the people degraded by the post it was in response to.
By the way, I also agree with Marathon Man, I would not be insulted...in fact would feel a sense of pride...if I was referred to as a 'working man'.
