Beesides, it's not like anything big. Not like some topic in the lounge saying -> We hate [insert hated race here] and for one thing people, there's a DIFFERENCE between race and nationality.

It can be funny, depending on the context.

Race, as a social construct, is a part of society, no matter how much people want to deny it. By satirizing it, you help people realize how silly it is. And give a good laugh sometimes.

I don't know. Personally, I found a couple of those offensive and disgusting. I know they are meant to be lighthearted and all that, but I didn't see them in that way. I guess there's no way to stop that.

HHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! THATS THE FUNNIEST THING I"VE READ IN CB

^ Topics w/ race involved usually include a "Race Used" warning in its title. Authors are decent enough to warn you. If you are offended by them, the warnings are there to tell you to not click, not click and get uppity.

^yes, I understand that, but I still feel that that type of "humor" shouldn't be posted here. It just makes me feel uncomfortable that it is there, even though I know I have the right not to click on it.

Look, you guys need to look at this in a different POV.

Jokes are light-hearted. Racial jokes are made to break the tension and effectiveness of racism. For me, if I heard someone call me chink, I'd just automatically think back on a joke about chinese people and white people. I'm not as mad that someone called me chink. It makes me laugh inside. Seriously!

I'm comparing the arguments against racial jokes to something similar as fundamental Christians calling Harry Potter the spawn of Satan. (And how America's youth will all turn into lil devils and fly around playing Quiditch or something..) It's rediculous, and truthfully, your efforts should be spent somewhere more meaningful. (Maybe real racism in the real world, rather than against jokes on an online forum.)

Exactly.

Jeff

so can i call u a chink?
haha jp. nice dude

tie them to a chair butt naked, and then burn them with a lit cigarette.

but in all seriousness u need to lighten up, like what tru said way Up^^ there, they are light hearted, maybe its just cause im just buddhist i dont take it as personally, im not too sure. But in anycase a joke is a joke, so yeah calm the fudgecicle down and just flubber what chu heard! (that was inspired by elba by da way.)

i would not mind. even if someone called me it and really meant it, i wouldn't care.

I've got more shit to deal with then someone calling me a chink. Woopity fcukin doo, callin me chink. That's what you do. They call you chink, and you go "woopity fcukin doo, you called me chink. WOOPITY fcukin doo." and stop talking to them.

racist ppl sadden me thy rly do. but honestly there isn't much we can do about them unless they are like threating to burn down your house. that damn freedom of speech thing works both ways .

ok type for sydney's stupid quetsion of the day: what does chink mean??!?!?!

^ chink = derogatory form for Chinese.

like nigger = derogatory form for Black.

Ignorance is everywhere. I'm glad most of you disagree with this ignorance, but look past it. It's always going to be there.

its really ridiculous... they should get warned.... its so offensive

Those are supposed to be jokes and never meant to offend anyone. It's supposed to be funny. People don't need to be so sensitive. If you can't take it, don't read it then.

what do u say when u wake up at midnight and see ur TV floating in midair?









FREEZE NIGGA!

^^

ok i dont get that, but im not entirely sure it was appropriate.

o actualy i worked it out as i was typing, and its disgraceful

just jokes. chill people.

yeah buit when hot 97 sung that song about asians, everyone got offended. and what do you mean "if you can't take it, don't read it then." it's just there!!!! when i see the title of the joke, how am i supposed to know if its racist? is calling blacks holy shit supposed to be funny? is it?

and-


UR THE f**king REASON FOR US DEBATING HERE.

^^

it is apalling, is'nt it. just b/c its intended in fun,, it doesnt mean it will not be taken offensively.

and its not easy to avoid it, i mean that stupid freze nigga thing wasnt exactly avoidable, was it. it just sprung up

the Tsunami song poked fun at races. W.E. That isn't why it was a piece of shit. It was because it poked fun at the DECEASED. THE DEAD. They poked fun of those CHILDREN THAT GO SOLD TO SEX-SLAVERY. That is why it is a disgraceful thing. It pokes fun at children who SEE THEIR MOTHERS HEAD SPLIT IN HALF. IT POKES FUN AT THE DEAD, fun at half a million lives that weren't meant to die.

The title's usually have WARNINGS or the title has a RACE in it. You can choose not to click it.

wwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....

well thats a new side
