I normally let a lot of meme's pass me by. This one will be no different.
It's not that far away from "towel-head" or "nigger" or "kike" or any of the other pejorative labels we'd be aghast to hear today. It's not that horribly far away from a gang of drunks beating up on the 'limp-wristed' fella from school.
Principled stands, amazingly enough, are still principled in my book. The use of such terms as verbal tools to inflict hatred are never a good thing, and as fellow humans, we should refrain from such practices.
The Golden Rule hasn't fallen out of favor, as far as I know. No need to change things now. ;-)
