I Need Some Sensitivity Training
An African-american woman today told the janitor that her boss’s wastebasket was over flowing.
Would it be in bad taste to call her a brown noser?
Laurie? (HR dropout) arm jerker? (African-american woman) Grandad? (Irish rabble rouser)
UPDATE: As I think about this, it seems that we need equivalent bad taste jokes for us white folks. Somebody come up with a joke about Caucasians that is equally of poor taste and I’ll give equal time.
UPDATE 2: Does the animated gif make the joke more insensitive? more funny?
UPDATE 3: Is The New Yorker cover racist?
Whoa! That was a stretch. 🙂
Sixty,
There are plenty of bad taste jokes for Caucasions out there. The difference is: we’re just careful not to say them in mixed company. On the other hand, I say call a spade a spade. Does that mean I’m referring to a a black person or referring to a “situation” as it really is? Maybe it depends on the source it’s coming from and the intent behind it.
Calling a black woman a “brown noser” isn’t offensive to me at all. You’re calling “a spade–a spade” 🙂
>>>PUNCH<<<
Screw the irish. Pack o’ leprechauns. Though for some reason, my server is routed through there. Gio figure …
Anyway, my joke is in equally bad taste as yours, but on a different topic:
How do you make an orphan bleed?
Tell him to clap hands ’til daddy comes home.
Feel free to punch me.
