At my work place i'm often the only visable minority , im mixed black /white, some people enjoy telling black jokes or black stereotypes and either directing it towards me or saying something racial not knowing i can hear it. They've made jokes about my skin colour, stealing, jokes that are sexual and deal with race, taste in music, hair, crime, and so on. Sometimes it just bothers me, would these white people get upset if i told them degrading racist jokes directed towards white people? If im just being sensitive and its all in fun they why are they not telling racist white jokes? sometimes when they say things it can ignite early memorys of childhood racism, i live in a small city and would be the only minority kid in a class room at school. Im considering moving to a bigger urban center thats multicultural and not unicultural, my friends are all different races and cultures, im into different sub cultures, food, people, religion. racist jokes ok?,
