I didn't read the comment you answer to, but people like you drive me nuts, seriously. Racist jokes can be perfectly funny, any joke can be perfectly funny it just depends who you tell it to, and at what humor degree you and the listener function.

I find some racist jokes funny because they're mostly a joke on racists on some level. On the other hand i find totally insulting that people dare believe that i'm actually racist if i happen to say a racist joke. In most cases it just means the listener is dumb enough that he doesn't try to analyze context and just wave his flag because he heard a bad word.

A joke is not a political commitment FFS, it's a fucking joke.

For your enjoyment at work in my unit we actually have a racist day every week where racist jokes fly all over the whole day, and most times make them with the targeted /(race|nation|skin color|whatever)/ present. It could go like that for example :

- someone : anybody saw my paperclip ? can't find it - someone else : Abdel probably took it, remember the guy is Arab, he steals all he can find. Seen your sister lately ? - a guy that happens to be jew : yeah Arabs are bad people, we've been telling you all along. - The Arab guy : Sorry i needed it for the seven virgin that are waiting for me guys.
