racist jokes?

Question

for school i got a question from the teacher why not to tell reacist jokes any anwers?

Answer 1

First of all, its not PC(politically correct) to tell racist jokes. Second, you never know who might be listening and who you are offending. Thirdly, you don't want to take a chance on getting your butt whooped. Most importantly if you can't dazzle someone with intellect, don't degrade yourself with ignorance.

Answer 2

I can't think of any reason to single out racist jokes.

It is not a good idea to tell jokes with the intention of insulting or hurting others. That is just general decency.

In many situations, such as stand-up comedy performances, racist jokes are not only funny, but provide incite into race and culture and improve the communication that is needed for everybody to interact and get along.

I would tell your teacher that jokes just for the purpose of insulting are a bad idea (whether they are racists or some other kind of joke), but that it is NOT a bad idea, in general, to tell racist jokes.

Answer 3

Because those kind of jokes are hurting people's feeling's,but you know,someone had made a racist joke on here before and i think i took it a little to seriously,so imma lighten up a lil and maybe crack a laugh or two.

Answer 4

It's not a racist joke, but it comes from the right part of the country.

It is pretty easy to fill in the blanks on why not to tell racial jokes, but if you need an answer here is one. If you start telling racial jokes and the wrong person hears you, you could be in for a tune-up and not a good one.

Answer 6

I don't think that the teacher gave that question to you for asking. She was probally telling you not to say racist jokes because it is impolite and inappropriate. It is not nice to hurt someones feelings because of their ethnic background. Didn't your mother & father teach you this???

Answer 7

Racist jokes, comments, attitudes, or implications are degrading and insulting. Racist jokes should not exist, let alone be repeated, they only serve to promote hatred and distrust.

Answer 8

Because racist jokes are retarded.
They hurt people's feelings.

Answer 9

Cuz they gonna wail on u! Racist jokes arent cool theyre mean.
