            Hey I like laughing at stereotypes. Just make it obvious that you're not serious. IF some one still takes offense, they prolly deserve it being stuck up punks!

                The joke doesn't specifically mention race, therefore it's not racist.

                  The joke is offensive and stereotypical-so I can understand how the TA's and prof got pissed at the absolute moron who writes this sort of thing down in an exam- but the TA was wrong in saying racism is decided by the person who hears a comment.

                    Whom does it stereotype?


                    Whatever answer you give, I could say that you are racist for assuming that your answer is more likely to perform bunga bunga than another race.

                      Give me a freaking break: ANYONE here who says they imagined these "savages" as caucasians when reading the joke is a damned liar.

                      If I were to write:

                      So amos came and said "sure thing massa, i's going to get the food right now for ya'll" You certainly would assume Amos to be white, right? Cause these are all common white stereotypes, correct?

                      Give me a ****ing break: stereotypes are built on a common cultural heritage- a given set of assumptions that allow the stereotypes to work, and NO< they do not have to be spelled out for anyone who might not share that one common cultural knowledge. Now stop being dense.

                        not in anyway whatsoever racist. If anyone is racist, it would be the ta for having automatically taking the term "native" to refer to his race or any other.

                          No it ain't. Only the oversensitive would think it racist.

                              Why is "savages" in quotes?
