    If it's funny then why not? I think there's some sort of inbuilt human instinct where people naturally poke fun at races/religions/circumstances they are not familiar with. A lot of these jokes don't have mallice of forethought.

    I am just curious, for example ppl from britain usually laugh at other nations, so if this seems ok for you then maybe you're one of "them"

    I am one of them - cheeky sod! But it's not just people from Britain. I work with a lot of Indians - Hindu Indians - and they like nothing better than to have a chuckle at Sikhs. As I said, I don't think there's any mallice of forethought - it often isn't meant to be offensive - but in the current tree-huggy, pinko-liberal climate we live in people like nothing better than to brand someone as racist when they probably aren't.

    when people run out of jokes they make racial comments, and think they are joking, but actually they are not!
    i hate racial jokes, they are more of a comment than a joke!:rolleyes:
