Minorities at each other's throats

[$tevie]

So this guy buys a parrot for his kids, but the bird is just obnoxious. He uses bad language and no one can handle it at all without getting pinched, until finally one day the bird insults the man's wife.

He grabs the bird and tosses it cursing and flapping into the freezer and slams the door.

After a few seconds all is quiet. The fellow opens the door and the parrot meekly walks out. "I realize I've offended you and I'm truly sorry and humbly beg your forgiveness."

The fellow is touched and replies "Thank you, you're forgiven."

"Thank you" says the parrot. "Now if I might ask: what did the chicken do?"
