The person implies that the people who said it were racists. The thing that piss me off is that she means me, and a friend of me.
It's not racist. However, it is incredibly insensitive to say you wonder if someone looks like a bombshell because they stepped on a landmine!
But she's technically right in saying you wouldn't be saying that if they were American. Because if they were American, they wouldn't be victims of Angolan landmines! Goddamnit, you're both idiots!

I just made a DRY joke. Besides, have you heard of road mine squads? Americans might be blasting off that way.
Beeing tired and bored, while waiting for something fun to happen is... boring. Maybe I should go out, ride the elevator to the highest floor, make the elevator ready, ring a doorbell and hop right back in the elevator and ride back down. It's currently 1 AM here.
