"Racist" Humor

[Faust|]

I think a lto of it comes down to whether you're coming from a place of respect or disrespect. You can make wonderful jokes about race, sexuality, religion, etc., but there's something really un-funny about a guy who hates blacks making black jokes, or a person who hates gays making gay jokes.

If you're coming at it from a basis of understanding, it's hard to go wrong. Kindness makes all the difference. I know it sounds weird, but it's true.

I would basically agree. For someone with any aesthetic sense, this humor is only funny when the deliverer is speaking from a rostrum of social equality. In more ancient times a disrespectful deliverer could be as entertaining as those "chimp-parodies" of the 50's, but those times are long gone. Even someone who does not believe in the equality mentioned above must agree with this.
