what makes a joke rascist? should they be frowned upon

(1/5) > >>

Don Rizzle:
its pretty much ok to tell a joke about the french, the welsh, irish, germans, americans etc. but as soon as a comedian tells a joke of about poeple of another colour they are branded rascist and bigots.

Its my personal opinion there shouldn't be all this negativity about it, a joke is a joke and not a statement of true feelings i enjoy all types of jokes as long as they are funny and that doesn't make me rascists for laughing either. i treat everyone as i see them and i have friends of all nationalities i even share a flat with people of multi nationalities 1 other english person, 1 pakistani, 1 chilien/danish and a shri lanken. i just can't understand the double standards.

please post your thaughts on this.

Diabolical:
I think you should be allowed to say what you want without fear of being called a racist.

Lincoln:
I agree with you, a joke is a joke.

Sikotic™:
Well maybe because racism is still an issue in the lives of people of color. All jokes have some sort of truth in them as well, so if you laugh at something that may be offensive, you're basically agreeing with it.

Not that I care, I laugh at basically anything unless it's joking about an unfortunate situation.
