I don't mind racist songs usually, they can be funny (not that I'm racist myself. In Canada, we got a little bit of everything, and everyone's really easygoing about race stuff.) Hell, there are plenty of derogatory Canadian jokes made ALL THE TIME, even check dotorg's FAQ, lol. But they don't bother me at all, usually they're pretty funny too.
However, if there was ever a tragic even in Canada where a lot of people died... and people wrote a "funny" song about it, I would be pissed. Like about SARS maybe, or if there was a big fire and they said a line like "everyone became Canadian bacon..." , could be funny, but not in light of seriousness. And that's nowhere near as bad as the lines in that Tsunami song.
Nothing against you Riot, it's OK to find it funny I suppose. IMO, it's in really bad taste though.
