But that's just the thing, you assume that since there's no gays around, it's okay to crack a joke about them. As far as I'm concerned, if you deem racist jokes unacceptable, then all potentially offensive jokes are, by extension, unacceptable.
Let me use another example, everybody loves to tell 'priest and rabbi' jokes. I guess some of them are even funny. Like "A priest and a rabbi are walking down the street when they see a kid, the priest says 'hey, let's **** that kid' and the rabbi says 'out of what?'" This is a joke. It's funny. I repeat, this is a joke.
Also, I am not anti-semitic at all, nor am I a antagonist of the Catholic church. I can tell this joke without being either. Why then are jokes involving stereotypes of blacks considered 'racist'?
After all, you have to 'take' offense to something. 'Being' offended is a conscious choice.

Okay, just so there's no confusion, the following is completely devoid of sarcasm:
Yellowvanblake, I agree.
A joke's a joke. Yes, some of them are pretty fucked up. Like, for example:
Question: What's better than 100 black guys?
Answer: 100 dead black guys.
Now, that joke is evil... Nevertheless, it's a joke. People need to lighten up. I know there's a fine line, I know that. But how can we expect to get over suppressive ideals such as racism or feminism... uh, I mean sexism... yeah... if we get all hot-headed whenever someone makes a joke out of them. A JOKE: anything said or done to make people laugh.

People take things too seriously.
There are jokes about mostly everyone: Black, Jew, Woman, Man, Gay, Chinese, etc. so everyone's equal!
Yeah...
Oh and I heard Palin thought Africa was a country, and not a continent... that's great! (To remain a bit On-Topic)
