    Is this joke racist?

    I've just been wondering. It really needs to be told, with sound effects and all, but writing will suffice.

    Three men, two white and one black, were hitchhiking. No car stopped for them, and they started to get quite tired. Finally, one of whites said "If I lay on the road, we'll surely get a car to stop for us." So he went to lay on the road. Soon a car approached.

    Vroooooo*thump**thump*oooooooooooooooom

    The two others dragged the body out of the road and waited some more. Finally the other white said 'You know, it might have been because that other guy was so small. Maybe I'll try the same as he." He went to lay on the road. Soon a car approached.

    Vroooooo*thump**thump*oooooooooooooooom

    The black guy dragged the body out of the road and waited som more. Finally he thought "What the heck, what do I have to lose?" and went to lay on the road. Soon a car approached.

    Vroooooo*thump**thump*Screeeech*thump**thump*Screeeech*thump**thump*oooooooooooooooom

    That's not racist, that's just stupid.

        It helps if you're telling it in person. You can simulate the car movements with your hand.

        Basically, with whites, the car drives over them and continues, with the black guy, the car drives over them, stops, backs over them, stops, drives over them again and continues.

          He stopped and put the gear in reverse. Then he drove over the black man a few times extra for good measure.

          Too bad it wasn´t a jew instead of a black man. Then you could shout "ANTISEMITE!" again...

          Yeah, right like you need an excuse to do that...

            It's racist. Any distinction between people based on skin colour is. But then things like AA is racist too, a whole darn lot more harmful to society, and at least equally stupid.... and nobody gives a damn.

            So the real problem is that it not only racist but tasteless too.

                  This is a joke about racism, but IMO not a racist joke. It doesn't identify a stereotype and poke fun at it, which is what a racist joke has to do.

                    I agree with Mr.WhereItsAt. A joke about racism isn't necessarily a racist joke. Doesn't make it particularly funny, either.

                      What's funny is how some people will use any chance they can get to trash their pet peeve.

                        The joke IS racist because is the black guy who got it. In Romania I heard the same joke, just that there is not a black guy, is a hungarian.

                            Umm, that doesn't work so well, does it? After all, how do you tell a Romanian from a Hungarian without hearing them?

                              I always tell the version where the black man is replaced with Esko Aho. It gets more laughs.
