It seems many people live sheltered lives. The English tell jokes about the Irish, the Australians tell jokes about the English, all of them tell jokes about French and Germans.
What I don't understand is why certain groups are protected. You can't tell jokes about Muslims, for example, but you can about Catholics. I just watched the first twelve episodes on DVD of Dave Chappelle's Comedy Central show. I highly recommend that "sensitive" folks steer clear! The best way around political correctness is for each ethnic group to only tell jokes about their own ethnic group. That way no one can object. Oh, I forgot. Only men can tell jokes about men and vice versa.

Well I am all of the above and the word Polack doesn't offend me because I consider myself American and not Polish. I even laugh at American jokes my foreign friends tell. I appreciate a well crafted, funny joke. I loved the films Borat and Bruno!

What does that have to do with anything? We're all aware ethnic humor is widespread. Are you implying that the people who understand that it can be offensive are narrow-minded?
Because something happens all over the world and on the comedy network doesn't mean its inappropriateness in THIS instance should not be pointed out. |

Exactly - and it was actually funnier in standard English.
