I agree for the most part but I do think that there are a good many people who are genuinelly offended by it. While I can giggle at the occasional joke or remark I tend to believe that people who habitually tell racist or sexist jokes tend to be racist/sexist and in denial about it. One of the psych classes I took we did a lesson on the underlying "truths" in the jokes we tell. Bottom line, some people are wound too tight and some people are in denial about who they are.

Um. I don't think they're in denial about who they are.

Wow I managed to get everybody fired up. In the second joke, he references "Negroes" and "Mexicans", that's racist. As to me being a fail baja, I'm 23, working on my master's degree, work for the government and own my home. I'm far from a failure, and I owe it to my awesome parents! You'd never guess I'm from 7D would you?? No, because I don't make racist jokes. Have a great day everyone!

well sure..if they weren't sorta true..it wouldn't be very funny. That's also why it can be "offensive" to some people. But as for being racist and in denial..people are DESIGNED , our very brains are DESIGNED to hold onto stereotypes and preconceived notions. Our brains do this to work more efficiently. And if you realize that, deny yourself the tendency to think that way, and find a way to make fun of the tendency, you are handling yourself better than someone who walks around perpetually offended as a way to prove their brains somehow work differently than everyone else's.

I realized a good bit ago that the world doesn't revolve around my notion of "right." I do think that consideration of others is a lost art though.

Get over yourself. The jokes are funny (well, some of them anyway) because they're offensive and play on a stereotype. We are Americans. We think offensive chit is funny.

At least we're not French people howling at Jerry Lewis.
