More related to the topic is the subject of jokes. Jokes are just that...jokes. So, an off-color joke is not necessarily something to get all worked up about really. Humor is a time-worn way we approach an understanding of our little differences. It gives us a forum in which to discuss matters albeit indirectly. We're all hard-wired genetically as well as environmentally conditioned to have some racist tendencies and Fear of the Other. It's one of the ways in which we are but imperfect humans, and it takes a raising of consciousness to truly get beyond being controlled by these very real issues.
