Personally, I'm not inclined to see what King Arts says in the most charitable light, as @Rocinante and @DarthOne et al. are. Sure, anyone can phrase a thing poorly from time to time. But this guy has a long, long history of voicing absurd and reprehensible views.
And let's be real here: if he'd said "blacks are a natural slave race", there's NO doubt the result would be a ban on pretty much every site (other than deliberately edgy 4chan-esque places). Probably a permaban. And I do think that if there's something you'd never be allowed to say about blacks, you shouldn't be allowed to say it about whites (or any other ethnicity, either).
However, most sites are run by hypocrites, and this site was founded to care about not falsely painting users as supposed crypto-nazis. So if the moron says it was a moronic joke, then I do think you should take him at his word. I don't believe him, but I'm not a mod, and if I were, I'd put my personal feelings on the matter aside.
(If he later starts spouting the same nonsense again, then you will know that it wasn't a joke, and then by all means kick his ass over the fence. A real racist is never able to keep from spouting racist nonsense anyway. They always unmask themselves.)
