Do you think that we should be able to make jokes about other peoples races with them getting offended?

Answer 1

We should and must respect ALL RACES.

Answer 2

No you dont want to offend anyone by making a joke about their race. You CAN make jokes about race though, but again it have to be done in a group of people that you know well and that are cool with the whole race differences stuff.
You daymn sure dont want to go anywhere in a States and make a joke about balck people while you in Hip Hop or R&B club, where mainly they would be the majority of an audience.
Same way with some country redneck areas in US where you being black through some ****** up joke about white people and in the area you is nothing but them.
You see what i am saying is in a group of friends or people you are aquintances with is fine, but not when you are from oppsite race in a WRONG place. ;)

Answer 3

Well I certainly can laugh at jokes about my ethnicity because there are a lot of truths to them.

I thought one of the funniest movies ever made was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" because that is how Greeks/Italian/Portuguese /Europeans, in general kind of are; and the ones who thought this movie the most hilarious are those of us who ARE that because we see the humour in it.

So those who poo poo jokes about their race to me are offended by what they are if they react in that fashion.

I don't know I guess I think it's funny to laugh at one's shortcomings rather than take it seriously.

Mind you there can be a fine line between when a joke turns into a slur and there are those who use jokes for that reason and that's not really right. You must admit some ethnic jokes are funny.

Answer 4

that is made an difficulty via politics. Liberals continuously accuse others of being racist. They achieve this with the objective of putting others on the protective. that is used plenty at the moment. African-human beings are truly gentle and immediately their votes that went heavily for Obama should be in threat. * The health care bill will in effortless words income authorities. it received't income the voters of the country in any respect except make it extra expensive. There are far extra health care insurance issued rejected by technique of the authorities than insurance agencies. i ought to were called racist for declaring the above very few weeks in the past. i'm racist because they are adverse to Obama's needs. Obama is a dismal skinned american. he isn't any extra African than i'm. yet why do African-human beings examine with themselves as African? i recognize many African nationals. Culturally, they are literally not something like their American opposite numbers. There would not seem very much of affinity, in genuine existence, going both way.

Answer 5

No we shouldn't. Those jokes are usually based on harmful stereotypes. That being said, I will be the first to admit that my friends and I kid each other about different aspects of our various heritages, but none of us would ever tell a joke that could be seen as rude or mean.

Answer 6

Everyone has been guilty of making a racial joke at least one time. Some people are still sensitive to it. Will there be a day when people are not so sensitive? Probably not. There are funnier things than skin color or ethnic background.

Answer 7

You can't control how people feel or how they will take a joke. You can make any jokes you want, but you may have to suffer some consequences. You'll have to decide if it is worth it to you.

Answer 8

Only bleeding hearts get offended

Answer 9

We live in the society of the perpetually offended.
