I'm a lifeless nerdy white guy from rural Kentucky. I don't get upset by any joke that applies to me if it's funny. In fact, if it's on the mark I appreciate it all the more. Now if the joke isn't funny I get steamed that they're wasting my time.

Personally, I think that stereotypes are funny, as long as they are or derogatory or nasty. I am not as thin-skinned as some people.
It's too bad that we have to be so careful that something that we say might offend someone, when it is not meant to be offensive.
A good example is the old Amos and Andy show. It was white guys trying to imitate black guys. The show was really funny, and I didn't see anything offensive in it. The Beverly Hillbillies and the Real McCoys were caricatures of rural whites. I don't remember hearing anyone complain.
When I hear a black comedian telling jokes about, or imitating whites, I am not offended. If you can't laugh at yourself, I think that you are insecure.

I and many of my family and friends don't mind. When I hear a black person (Murphy, Rock, Smith) imitating a white person - the sound of the language, the way the'whiteness', nerdy-ness is enunciated - is my favorite. It's too true, how can one not laugh at that?

Depends on the joke and if is funny and not insulting.
Eddie Murphy has told funny jokes about white guys.

No, we aren't as sensitive as other groups seem to be. Perhaps we should start getting upset when black comedians use racial slurs against us. Create a lot of media hype and threaten to sue for damages and some other crock of crap. But, hey....we just have a better sense of humor.

But anything goes at a comedy club. Ever heard of a white lady comedian named Lisa Lampanelli?? She bashes blacks, hispanics, gays, jews,.......it's hilarious!!
I suggest you youtube her and see some of her stuff.

No, because at the end of the day no Black people have every created a successful civilization or country and they never even had a wheel if it wasn't for Whites.
Everything Blacks see around them is because of the White man, whether they want to admit it to themselves or not.

not at all, because it's usually very funny and true. Just like when Chris Rock tells jokes about black people

should we? Do black people get mad when white people tell jokes on them? Oh wait you were asking the question. No I don't.
