Well I certainly don't think Prine meant any ill will towards "minorities" : The song is making fun of the 'well, things could be worse' mindset. "They don't know how lucky they are," when you get in an accident the damage is minor the default response seems to be "luckily there was not much damage, luckily no one was killed." He's playing with that and has an odd sense of humor.

My Opinion
