You know who knows the most Polish jokes? Anyone with Polish heritage. For some reason when you say you are Polish people feel obligated to tell you their favorite polish joke.
If I am not offended by my friend telling the joke it does not make it right. Much like lil face experienced, some people are offended by ethnic jokes even if they are not part of the group in the joke and even if you are. I stopped telling polish jokes years ago because I am proud of my heritage and when you tell ethnic jokes you perpetuate a stereo type. I donât think telling your joke makes you a âracistâ but you sure canât use the term liberal if you are telling jokes about intolerance
I apologize to my Canadian friendsâ¦making fun of someoneâs culture shouldnât be acceptable. I will however continue to make direct fun of anyone who when I give prices in dollars (eg $7) they ask âis that American or Canadian?â I do agree there are acceptable 'satirical' jokes but who draws the line before you are called a xenophobe?
