Is this joke racist?

[monolith94]

Coincidentally, I heard more racist jokes in finland than I've heard total in the U.S.

The problem with that joke is, we don't know what the speaker is intending to say. We could assume that the speaker is saying that blacks deserve to be hurt more, or he is saying that people are racist. After reading that, my thoughts turned toward the former. Imho totally tasteless, and racist.

Hey that's what I meant! Give me some credit...grrr.

It's racist. Any distinction between people based on skin colour is.

Now that you're talking about it, a black man laying on the road would stand more chances of being trampled over than a white man, because his color would make him harder to distinguish from asphalt than a white guy.

This of course is only true for relatively new roads and dim lighting. In a desert road in noon, the white guy would fit in better, since the road will tend to be shining.

Well, since I am a Eurocom, hence not a racist, I can write this stuff with impunity. Here's another one:

- What's coming between Europe and sh*t?
- The Mediterranean.

Ah, you implicitly assume the three men are either naked ( ), or clothed in clothing that matches their skin colour.

I assume that it is summer (it is in Greece) so enough of their skin is visible and that their clothes are matching the color of the road, which takes clothes off the equation.

So there!

The joke was kind of funny but when I first heard it the one who got backed over was a Finn. Now that was funny!

Anyway I don't like to make fun of any group of people because that is the first step usually that leads to worse things. On the other hand, we should learn to laugh at ourselves (especially if we are Finnish like Stefu).

racist jokes can still be fun. if they have style that is. that one by Stefu does.

should we start a telling racist jokes contest now? I'm all for it...

A German, an Austrian and a Pole...

Why is the integral around Western Europe zero?

Because all the Pole's are n Eastern Europe!

Well, actually, that not true - but all the Poles in Western Europe are removable!

Aha. Ahaha. Ahahaha.

I don't get it. Why is it that every time I start a thread, someone ends up talking about Finnish people dying?

It's like a law of nature around here. Stefu's Law - In all threads Stefu starts, someone will advocate or at least talk about Finns dying or being killed off.
