Discrimination affects European-Americans the least. Since they're the dominant race in America,
caucasian sterotypes don't significantly affect them in any way. Sure, there are the ridiculous sterotypes such as white people can't jump...but that doesn't stop them from being in basketball, track, etc. On the other hand, the sterotypes of blacks that they're not intelligent and that Latinos are lazy results in discrimination in the work place. When was the last time you've seen a rich, top executive on TV that was black or Hispanic? And for Asians - when was the last time you've seen an Asian guy in a non-martial arts, non-nerdy, non-comical movie/tv role?
Every race has sterotypes, but these sterotypes affect the caucasian group the LEAST.
Jokes about certain a certain group will only increase sterotypes and help further discrimination.
