    Only to people without a sense of humor. I've traded $race jokes for indian jokes with $race guys many times and we both had a good laugh. It just requires you not be a whiny little bitch who's looking to be butthurt.

    Racism jokes are only funny if they avoid mentioning any actual race by using variables such as ${race} or ${ethnicity} in the body of the joke.

    Otherwise, no racism jokes.

      I had a professor who avoided the issue by replacing the joke's ethnic target with that of some long dead civilization. His favorite ones started out: "So these two Carthaginians - Sven and Ole - were out hunting..."

          Indian convenience store stereotype or hooker?

          My guess?
          If you paid upfront, the latter. If you paid at exit (or not at all), the former.
