You're not wrong there. Had there been any other minority group of any sort mentioned, all hell would have broken loose. The same could be said for many other groups. What Ikea did is politically incorrect, however, and I've said this before, we, as a nation, get too caught up in our own paranoia to put things into perspective. There are people who are ignorant; who are not going to understand what Goth is, and are going to make stupid generalizations. But, again, I repeat myself, it is in human nature to mock what he cannot completely understand or identify.
