[QUOTE="Inderjeet Kaur, post: 204304, member: 16531"] These jokes are not harmless fun. They are not fun at all. They are stupid. And I don't like them. I feel the same way about nasty jokes about women, which are considered perfectly OK. I heard most of them told about the Polish, the Irish, the Italians. Strangely, I never heard any of them told about African Americans or Jews. There is a whole genre of jokes about the Protestant minister, the Catholic priest and the rabbi. Some of these are really hilarious. I do not like or tell racial or ethnic or religious insults or jokes - almost always unfunny - that demean others. I do not listen to tell or laugh at them. I generally give the teller a dirty or puzzled look. "I don't get it" usually embarrasses them when they try to explain. I see this as a freedom of speech issue. As a proponent of radical free speech, I think banning these jokes, stupid though they might be, violates a fundamental human right. I also think it makes Sikhs look weak and fragile. We should be neither.We should grow up a bit and quit being so sensitive. Take offense only when offense is intended.

I remember years ago when the Vatican elected a Polish cardinal to be Pope, the first non-Italian Pope in centuries. I gave this news to a Polish friend of mine. She's still waiting for the punchline. [/QUOTE]
