If you're offended by Team America World Police or Borat you have missed the point and the creators did their jobs.

I can't get offended anymore (I just read a book by Sarah Silverman... yuck)

Im just looking at what is racist and why is it funny. It doesn't bother me that it's funny, but it shapes people's minds to think about people in a certain way. I don't think it's good for humor to be racist regardless of how funny it is.

I don't think racist humor teaches people to be racist.  in fact I think it can dispel a lot of misunderstandings between cultures by exaggerating how ridiculous racism really is

but doesn't this cheapen our own existence? and maybe make racism look attractive? Maybe we should just keep racism a bad thing and be mean to it no matter if it is funny or not.

I don't think the humor in that movie has much to do with purported "racial" attributes at all. It's culture that's being made fun of for the most part. Even the blackface thing is not really racial humor IMO. The joke is that the disguise is shitty, not that Middle Eastern people have dark skin.

well im thinking, that everyone has a race  (so we're all a little racist) ,but liking racist humor should always be looked down on instead of celebrated, just because it's racist.

that's what I mean by being mean.

If everyone's overly afraid of being seen as racist then you run into problems too though. IMO culture should be fair game to poke fun of a little.

yes you're right, it's probably a matter of taste, they should label racist things maybe. We need paid multiethnic racism committees, best job ever.

Abraham Lincoln was a huge fan of colored jokes and he signed the emancipation proclamation :smirk:

but that doesn't fully explain the use of blackface as used to entertain real racists. that is an explanation for why, but the reality is still racist, infact it doesn't even attempt to explain anything, it just offers a vehicle for racism.




yeah i know. i just think discrimination or segregation of any human being is wrong and i feel as if there is so much emotion already tied to the very word racism that debating about whether it should be used  as an outlet for humor or not is pretty moot. Obviously it is funny but at the same time that humor can be brought out through the feelings of becoming tense at viewing such images that are supposed to make people uncomfortable. Common sense tells me that muslims who wear turbans are not terrorists. Yet i can look at it satirically and laugh.

the problem with me is every time I see a turban I laugh, but these are normal people not just dot heads. society is making me look down on them.

but someone has to say, ok blackface is funny, so is the way they sound, and we can make them stupid and violent.

even though it is totally racist by any objective standard, I find it funny.

You could say it is up to the observer but you'd have to disprove the facts supporting the humor.


If they can't take the joke I say f em Quit being a whiney baby. There are more Polack ,Irish  and Italian jokes than you could tell in a lifetime. Why should the Sandniggers  get away scott free?
