Forums - General Discussion - Do you like racist jokes?

only if there good.... depends on context. Handled right then it's fine, handled badly and it's just racism with a smile.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Somebody told me the 'How many Jew's can you fit in a Mini' joke right after leaving the holocaust memorial in NY.

Nobody laughed, everybody started hating him. There's a time and a place for racist jokes.

I got that one beat in offensiveness at the wrong time.

The day of 9/11 I had one guy tell me that when he saw the people jumping out the windows all he could think of was the song "Let the Bodies hit the Floor" (I was only laughing on the inside).



I love them. 99% of the time, they are innocent, and the person telling them isn't actually racist or prejudiced in any way.

One of my favourites, but you'll probably all have heard it:

A black guy and a latino are in a car. Who's driving?

The cop

Dead baby jokes to a woman who has just had a miscarriage are also bad.

They are funny but I don't get extra joy out of them if that's what you mean lol.

Like..

"Why were there 1000 mexicans at the alamo?"
- They only had 6 pickup trucks.

That is funny, it's just a simple joke.

I think that more than any other kind of joke, a racist joke has to be funny. If a regular joke isn't funny, people will chuckle a bit because it's so stupid, or worst case scenario, sigh. If a racist joke isn't funny, it IS racist, and it's extremely annoying.

If it's funny, yes. As long as no one's taking them to heart, I don't see the problem.

I think racist jokes are hilarious.
