does that make you racist or predjudice?

Telling it could label you as racist, or sexist, or what ever, stupid i know but that's the way we live today, and i know this to be right because I am a diversity trainer.

Race is a touchy subject to some it is hurtfull to others it's ok. The answer is up to you really if it makes you feel wrong for saying it then dont if somebody says it to you and it offends you tell them. But if you are at a comedy show and a comic says a racial joke you don't approve of just leave. Sadly there are idiot's of all race's. Hope this helps.

people come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours and all sorts of people have stupid, joke-worthy stuff about them. even a lot if '-ist' jokes have a nugget of comedy truth and many jokes I've decided are best not repeated, I have then seen go down a storm with groups of people subject to the punchlines.
not to say that there aren't just some damned offensive jokes out there, designed to hurt and engender animosity.

Not really - I'm Irish and I laugh at those jokes and you can't be racist towards your own can you?
I think this world is too serious sometimes and needs to chill out - if it's funny laugh!!!
Cheers

No it doesn't. Everyone and every nationality has a joke about them, all you can do is laugh. I'm Irish and my favourite jokes are the jokes about us, I wet myself laughing at them, as do most Irish people. If we can laugh at ourselves, so can everyone else.

You can joke about anything, but we have to remember that everyone looks at things differently. My truth is different from others.

No. It is what you feel that does that. People will think you are if you go around telling them to people you don't know. Keep them within your circle of friends.
