I'm all against racism and especially hate crimes but I'm all for jokes involving race. I've been yelled at for making racist jokes before and I don't see why. It's a joke, not meant to be taken seriously.

Truly if I went up to one of my black friends and was like, "What's the difference between a black dude and a pizza? A pizza can feed a family." He and I would laugh (despite that joke being silly) and then he'd say something like, "What's hard, white and 14 inches long? Absolutely nothing!" Then we'd laugh again. Just because I think stereotypes and to a certain extent racist generalizations are funny doesn't make me racist. For instance, I don't actually believe all black people are poor or all white people are rednecks...it just makes for good jokes.

I have a half-black friend. I call him "negro" and "nigger" sometimes but he knows I'm joking. For example, just this lunch I said to him "Don't drink too much, negro!" with a smile on my face and he actually thought it was quite funny. Usually he just responds with "Alright whitey" or "white trash" or something... Not hurtfully or anything... it's just a joke

I am a little racist though.. I mean.. there are many many... many indian or pakistani people in England at this moment in time... With muslim terrorism groups such as Al-Queida (sp ?) around... You can't help but suspect...

I think racism and religious intolerance is horrible. I do not agree with it. However, it can be quite funny to make some racist or anti-semetic remarks when its just you and a group of friends. As long as they know your not serious, and nobody else hears you, its all good.

A good example is when I was at a friends house playing Halo. He had a bunch of people over and we all had funny names. There was;
1. Hitler (It was funny when A Jew assassinated him o.O)
2. A Jew
3. A Black Man (Whenever he was killed it was a hate crime )

Some STD names "You got killed by AIDS". It was fun. People who are serious when they make antisemetic or racial remarks are stupid. K, 'nuff said.
