I personally don't think theres anything wrong with racial jokes. I think so long as you can laugh at your own race it's all just fun & games. I know alot of people find them tastless though. Whats your opinion?

Hmmmmm... This is a tough one. I don't really see a problem with racial jokes. It's all in good fun. And as long as people never make fun of each other, we'll never get used to it. The only possible way to end anger over races is desensitization. To make fun of each other as much as possible and in the most horrible way, then laugh about it. (Sarcasm. Racial jokes just degrade everyone. Unless they're about yourself.)

I think some of them are funny, I often tell my own ethnic jokes about myself and blonde jokes also about myself- thought these days the blonde is out of the bottle. I think we should all learn ot lighten up a bit. This political correctness stuff is being carried too far.

I don't like racist jokes. Matter of fact, i think they are disrespectful towards the race you end up downgrading. I also don't like blonde jokes. It's disrespectful to women, and downgrading to them, just because of their hair colors.

I must admit ye I laugh at racist jokes. They are funny and not to be taken seriously as there just based on stereotypes and having a bit of fun. I think you have to choose your audience well as some people might find them offensive. I know my close friends of other races would find it funny as they know me well enough to know i'm not racist.

well i think bringing and including people of a particular race in a joke is not good ... but i would surely say that people i made certain names and communities of the society and they too have become joke idols ..i would say.

I think there is anything wrong with a simple joke, but some people don't like it and I respect their opinion, but I think is just a joke nothing more. It's absolutely wrong when you try to offend someone, that kind of things i don't approve.
