Ethnic Humor: Evil or Innocent?

[Massage...Bored]

Of the people who are sincerely offended...

Isn't enjoying "South Park" "The Simpson's" and shows of that ilk a bit hypocritical?

How about Borat too?

Ollie, I'm dealing strictly in race related issues.

I wonder which Lego face is most racially offensive?

They're all so cute I can't pick just one.

I agree that's real thin, but it was used as an excuse. Justify it out long enough and it will be okay for Africans to take Europeans as slaves. That's what I'm saying. Let's learn to be civil instead of continuing to justify bad behavior by one group of people because of bad behavior by another group of people 6,000 or 200 years ago.

to zenmandan...
Why do you insist on making fun of other races on a daily basis?

Wow. I didn't know that we spoke on a daily basis. I do believe that we've never met. I KNOW that you will not be able to find a post of me making fun of ANY race at all. I was, in fact, simply pointing out that the Asians seem to be the soup du jour for us to defend. My saying "I rike regos" was only making a point. What about everyone else being made fun of?

Massage...Bored, seriously...why would you make a blanket statement like that about someone you've never met, seen or talked to?

Completely noted, I can totally get behind that.

OK genius, by that logic, we SHOULD be able to make fun of the Chinese because of they're tyranical oppression of the Tibetan people. Give ME a f*#king break. The only reason I threw the race thing in there, as I apparently didn't clarify, was to point out all of the different people we DO make fun of on a daily basis and NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING! The race card was played in sarcasm to bring up us making fun of Indians. Damn dude.

Do you read what you type?

We constitutes you being part of the group, does it not?

[zenmandan]

"We" meaning whites. "We" as in Americans. "We" as a society in general.
Sure, we are all included in that "we", but it DOES NOT mean that "we" all do or say the things that "we" as a society may do or say.


On a side note, I'm now thinkng of Nintendo for some reason.

...The Chappelle Show, Mind of Mencia, Yo Momma!, Will & Grace (I know that show has nothing to do with race, but it's filled with homosexual stereotypes) and so on and so forth.

I think I have a solution to this problem, Ollie. Whenever someone signs up for cable, they should be required to let the cable company know their race. If you're white, the cable company can just automatically block out any and every show that displays a racial stereotype in any way whatsoever, so that us Caucasians aren't tempted to laugh at the TV network's racial insensitivity which we so desperately want to have as an outlet for all of our suppressed natural hatred towards other races. This self-imposed censorship of all jokes race-related will in turn dampen whitey's natural inclination to oppress and enslave anyone not pigmentally-challenged like we are. I know just the thought of not being bombarded with this racial crap on TV makes me really no longer want to force my Asian friends to build me that railroad that I've always wanted.

By the way, this cable/televison censorship thing applies only to whites because as we all know, no other race in the history of the world has ever in their distant or not-so-distant past enslaved or oppressed another people and therefore they have the right, nay, the responsibility to laugh at racial humor.

Little known facts; 1. The Jews were in fact enslaved for several hundred years by the lily-white Egyptians, a little known tribe who lived in North Africa at around 4000 BC give or take a millenia. 2. The African slaves were all sold to us New World Whiteys 400 years ago by the South Africans who, as we all know, even back then they were all blindingly white and apartheidy. 3. The Mayans and the Aztecs were wiped out by the Spaniards who, as science has recently confirmed, are practically albinos in their whiteness.

There are several more facts about how horrible, terrible, no good, very bad my race is and how we are responsible for all of the ills that have ever and will ever infect this world, but I'm tired of this sh*t and I'm done posting on these boards for awhile...

Kill Whitey.

Jewish race, yeah they've had it the hardest. Their race. Don't tell a Jewish guy you consider him white, he'll freak out.

2. The African slaves were all sold to us New World Whiteys 400 years ago by the South Africans who, as we all know, even back then they were all blindingly white and apartheidy.

The cases of blacks literally selling other black Africans to European slave traders are few and far between to even mention. 90% of African slaves were captured from NORTHERN Africa, Southern Africa was usually too far and too much of a pain in the ass for the slave trade.

3. The Mayans and the Aztecs were wiped out by the Spaniards who, as science has recently confirmed, are practically albinos in their whiteness.

Put yourself in the mind of the Indians you speak of, having only ever seen folks of your own skin tone, the Saniards you speak of would appear to be practically albino. Spaniards are in no way dark skinned nor fair skinned, they fall into a sort of in between grey area. An area that I like to call my home.

holy crap.

Objects are oriental, people are Asian. Asians find it WHOLLY insulting to be called oriental.

How do you differentiate Racial and Ethnic? Borat is Asian the last time I looked at that continent, right?. He's portraying an Asian stereotype.
