Yes, because even though it's your own race it may still be offensive to others like yourself and even others of different races. Of course, it is all about the intent behind what you say.

Is it racist to tell racist jokes about your own race?

Yes, because even though it is your own race, it still may be offensive to others.Another view:Not particularly unless you do so because you hate yourself and your own people. However, even though it isn't racist, it can still offend. Offense is not what makes something racist.

Are white people jealous of black people?

I am Black, and I can tell you one thing:White people are not jealous of Black people. Why would they, when Black people are the oppressed in their society, the poorest and the least educated. People become jealous of others because those others are better than them/or have more wealth than them. Black people have nothing that white people want. wow obviously who ever answered this question is not black, im leaning towards a racist white person who is obviously jealous of black people. get ova it!


How do you do ethnic scene hair?

To create ethnic scene hair, you can start by choosing a vibrant hair color and adding different layers and textures to your hair. Experiment with styles like choppy layers, side-swept bangs, and hair accessories like bows, clips, or headbands for a unique look.

Why is it permissible to tell lawyer jokes but not permissible to tell a racial joke?

A person is born of a particular race. They are not born as a lawyer. Racist jokes are offensive, and you may get sued over them. That is ironic when nobody has sued over lawyer jokes yet. Please do not give them any ideas!

Are racist jokes funny?

This can depend, from person to person, ethnicity to ethnicity. Generally, you should always avoid telling racist jokes about somebody with a different ethnicity to you, who is right next to you, this would be very rude, and offensive. It is also, always frowned upon, when telling a racist joke, that you really mean, people of different ethnicities should be treated equally. However, as long as you, and everybody you are telling it to, understand, that none of you wish to offend people of different ethnicities, and, that it is merely a joke, and, that that joke is not meant. Any joke is fine if its used at the right time and the right place. Racist jokes are no worse than jokes about church and accidents just as long as you dont tell the joke in the wrong manner. Right well telling racist jokes depends on how you tell them.

Why is it more acceptable to make a white joke than a joke about another race?

First of all, I'd like to remind you that racist jokes are not acceptable by any race, unless the race you're making a joke about is either: A: your own race, B: okay with you making those jokes. Jokes are meant for everybody to enjoy, don't use them to promote racist tension. The reason we find it more widely acceptable for white jokes to be made on tv, movies, radio and other media sources is because of the the history the world has had, especially the United States. Whites, through recent history have been in the racist side, and usually caused the social problems we've had, making non-white jokes only makes these social issues worse, or theoretically it does. Rest assured that this will change as more time goes by, but not anytime soon because it's recent history that we've left behind. Native American jokes will always be thought of as horrible because their land was taken away by white people. Blacks were segregated about 50 years ago, not enough has passed to be making racist jokes about black people (Unless they're okay with it, individually). The Chinese Exclusion act was removed about 90 years ago, because it's been almost a century it's now becoming more acceptable to tell Chinese racist jokes, except for in segregated places in California where the Chinese are struggling socially to integrate to society, it's best not to make too many jokes about them. Hispanics, Latinos, Mexicans, and anyone else that lives or comes from Latin America-- they haven't had much racist history in the past, most of their injustice is happening today! So it's not the best time to be making racist jokes about our brown brothers. Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, and other states have been making discriminatory laws to unlawfully (according to the Constitution) stop them for a misdemeanor and deport them. Alas, now you know why the white race is the most preferable when making racist jokes, specifically by the media in movies and tv. As we leave behind our racist history, this will change and it will be more acceptable to make jokes of other races. ------ Think of it this way: when you make fun of yourself, no one else will get hurt feelings about the joke except for yourself. IF you make fun of someone else, for any reason, they would be the ones getting hurt feelings, you would not. There are some people who like to laugh at their own race and other races. However, there are probably a lot more people who would get butt hurt over hearing someone make fun of their race. I'm sure there are plenty of white people who would get butt hurt over jokes black people tell about them and vice versa.
