answer: if its not meant to be serious, then yes. the funniest comedians in my opinion have loads of racist stuff; carlos mencia, lisa lampanelli, chris rock and sarah silverman. and notice that none of them is a white male so dont give me any of that "white power" bulls***.

its pretty ridiculous that i mentioned a hispanic male, a black male, a white female and a jewish female, yet somehow that still amounts to white racism.

I think could be considered funny if you are making fun of your own group. If you are making fun of someone else, it's dangerous because you could really hurt someone's feelings.

Harold, is that you? I'll accept your invitation.
You're right: Black comedians often get away with veiled anti-White racial remarks. And Jewish comedians can say anything they want about any goyish race.
WHY is funny racism okay, EXCEPT when it comes from a White male? They get to carp at us, usually untruthfully, but we don't get to shoot back, even truthfully?
Some of those "non-White male" comedians you mentioned are Jews or Jewesses, are they not? Jews aren't White, but they sometimes pretend to be, say, when they're in line at a US embassy in East Europe to get an immigration visa to America on the pretense that they are Estonians or Bulgarians.
Once they get to America, they revert back to being non-Whites in order to get those special minority privileges that are offered to non-White races here. Among those privileges are:
1. The right not to be laid off when an employer has to adjust his workforce to meet Affirmative Action requirements, and
2. The right to laugh at other races without being called a racist.

Happened all the time in BBC Comedies in the 70's, they used to have white people playing black people they wear black make up and talk in a stupid voice. they were watched by millions of people every week so yes in the 70's they were funny

*Racism* is not funny; what *is* funny is poking fun at how stupid it can be. The comedians you mentioned do just that. They are funny because they are highlighting all the vulnerabilities in the racist point of view. If they were actually racist, they wouldn't be funny at all.

It's funny unless you're a white male comedian.
Then, you're not allowed to joke about the less fortunate sub-species of the human race.

Racism is not funny. It should be dispised and cut out like a cancerous growth. These comics only help in keeping it around. It is like making fun of somebody dying from a terminal disease.

No it is not funny, in fact I think that it's a disease. It is like the
great plagues of old. It is something that you need to fight at
all cost,because if you don't it will wipe out society

It would be a lot funnier if they were white males. Why are you answering you own question?
