humor is always an excuse for, especially when posted in a humor thread. If you don't have a sense of humor, or are offended by a mexican-american making a joke about other mexicans, then tuff shit.
Why would you even post this in the "racist?" thread? when obviously there is nothing even racist about the joke. ...you people

As a response to a joke that evidently went over your head, that makes up in unintentional irony for what it lacks in ... well, everything else.
Why would you even post this in the "racist?" thread? when obviously there is nothing even racist about the joke. To show how "obviously" non-racist you are, of course. Since some people have implied that you were racist, I thought that in your defense I should give an example of how you can discuss black people and Mexicans in a way that "obviously" has "nothing even racist" about it. And yet somehow you jumped to the conclusion that I was trying to show you in a bad light. But how could I be, when this is such an "obvious" example of non-racism? Pray tell us, what led you to think that this "obvious" example of non-racism could be interpreted as anything but a warm-hearted paean of love towards all humanity regardless of color or national origin?

what I wondered was why you posted this in the "racist?" thread, when it makes no sense to be placed here. I never said anything about you portraying me in a bad-light, that is something you said that i thought (what do you now have mind reading powers). you are getting pretty silly, like rrhain, theodoric, buzzsaw, and kuresu, I wanted to keep you off that list, but you are a horrible troll, so welcome to the club.

what I wondered was why you posted this in the "racist?" thread, when it makes no sense to be placed here. Why, to show what a wonderful big-hearted person you are. Is there anything at all about your "obviously" non-racist post that leads you to think that I could have had any other motive?
I never said anything about you portraying me in a bad-light, that is something you said that i thought (what do you now have mind reading powers). I have post-reading powers.

And yet I have gone out of my way to display you in such a good light. Thanks to me, everyone on this thread will read your post and admire your obvious not-at-all-racism ... and these are the thanks I get. I'm hurt, Artemis. Surprised and hurt.

A fat Mexican-American and a skinny Mexican-American jump off a cliff, who hits the ground first? Who cares? ...you might, as a Mexican-American have a point. I think both the black and the Mexican might think the Mexican-American was not expressing jocular solidarity, hm? Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the marinated herring?! -Gogol Bordello

damn how fucking lib is everyone around here!?!
offended by almost nothing. you can like a joke, or dislike a joke, but to get offended by one you dislike and assume its racist, well shit that's hilarious in itself. you fucking liberal retards! I love this place! lololololol
Your joke offends me in the same way, AE. lol
yeah but I know you get offended by the most subjective of opinoins anyway, so sorry, but since you get offended easier than the bitches in Human Resources, its hard to care when you are offended, because it happens way to often.

In order for something to be a racist joke, it must be funny. Otherwise it isn't a joke - it is just racist.

How about the following?
There's a priest, a minister and a rabbi out playing golf and trying to decide how much to give to charity. So the priest says, we'll draw a circle on the ground, we'll throw the money way up in the air and whatever lands inside the circle, we give to charity. The minister says "no", we'll draw a circle on the ground, throw the money way up in the air and whatever lands outside, that's what we give to charity. The rabbi says "no, no, no", we'll throw the money way up in the air and whatever God wants, He keeps.

i never claimed it to be a racist joke, that is somebody else's strawman.
i claim it is a joke that is devoid of racism, whether you think it is funny or not does not qualify if it is a joke or not. @ Taz: yeah that is good one, what movie was that from? also not racist its clearly about religion and stereotypes of religious sects, only morons think Jews are a race.

I don't know if anyone has read this article today or not.
Opinion | Crashing the Tea Party - The New York Times Here is a quote that I wanted to focus on.
quote: Again, many of us have questioned since the beginning the REAL motives for the origin of the tea party. I find it hard to believe that it was a coincidence that after Reagan doubling the national debt followed by Bush's spending spree like there was no tomorrow, a conservative political party formed for the sole purpose of opposing the first black president in history. Sure, you can find one or two black people here and there in the tea party just like you could find one or two jew here and there among the nazis.
