    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.
