Interesting. I had always understood McCarthyism as only the red scare, and I assumed it was how it was always used.

Here's an idea, the more complicated your taxes the more expensive it is to file. So most people pay nothing, but people who have the opportunity to scam the system have to pay enough to cover the people to investigate their filing.

I would argue it is not McCarthyism. McCarthyism would he specifically using people's political ideologies as a metric, whereas sexuality is a personal private thing that would have absolutely no effect on the ability to do a job. At least McCarthyism has some way to claim that "commie" is actively working against the interests of the US.

The mainstream media in the US rarely gives any indication of what Tehran is like unless there is some kind of protest coverage. I would not be surprised that people had odd assumptions, but I doubt those assumptions are colored by the media. I def know people get very surprised when they see major African cities.

My point is that what you posted as evidence bigotry is not really very strong. Certainly, if that joke was posted by a bigot it would be punching down. But otherwise it is just a normal situational joke.
