Seriously, it's like you can't crack a joke or youre a bigget... You can't say anything these days without it being a violation or offending someone. If you don't like it that's cool, but shouldn't I have the right to say what I want if you do?

Some people may not understand humor based on obvious differences between two cultures, and that is ok. But, there are some of us who do get a kick out of that. The way I see it is it wouldn't be a joke and it wouldn't make any sense to say things about races (or anything) that people aren't already thinking. And if people are thinking it already why not say something or make a joke about it. You may see saying middle eastern people always (Which isn't really always the exaggeration is the joke) smell of B.O and white pple always smell like dogs when they are wet
to be offencive, but I don't it does not offend me one bit. But the real difference between you and me is that I believe that it is ok for you to think differnetly than me and you believe that everyne should think like you.

Ugh! I know! Society is so pc it's disgusting! I guess that a lot of people must think that the only way to become a truly civilized society is by sugar-coating everything. Ugh!
I like Latin American cultures because they freely say things that would be considered discriminatory, bigoted, or racist here in the US. But over there, they don't have a problem with it.

We AREN'T such a PC society. You, for example (and there are many of your equally clueless sort).
On the off chance that you have any capacity for basic humanity, I will try to explain it to you. (Right.)
Anything that suggests that one sex, or ethnic group (or people who can't walk or whatever the target of your hateful jokes) are not human, or should be murdered, attacked, or raped for no reason whatsoever, or that one group is superior or inferior based on things that have nothing to do with intelligence or quality of character is loathesome and disgusting.
In less civilized times, people behaved this way, and were accepted. That is no longer the case as most humans understand that all humans are human. (Except the sub-human scum who refuse to accept this.)
So don't do it any more.
If you can't find jokes that aren't hateful, then you have no sense of humor and should give up trying to crack jokes.

I am mixed race and I have been told more than once that if I were 100% white, people would think I was a total racist. I say what I want about people because I am related to most people.

There are still somethings that people won't put up with .
Being too graphic in sexual matters , being hateful towards others , or in anyway being disrespectful . I don't know you or what you said but I just based my answer on what I've observed on answers so far .
