How far can humor go?

[Phil]

Not all countries have the same free rights.

And it's not really all about that. Rights and all that aside, It's do you, yourself, think that people should make the kind of jokes or not.

Saying that racism is bad is subjective. However, that doesn't mean that we don't condemn racism.

That's assuming you're amongst people who are racially diverse or don't care about race.

If you were at a Klan meeting and people were throwing around racist jokes, they might all find it hysterical whereas if you go to a Diversity Club they'd find it sick.

Point is: With a joke everything is subjective. What is right to one group is wrong to another and vice versa.

I'm not denying that it's subjective, just that it is discussible. After all, in the last century, racism went from a fairly mainstream view in the US to a fringe view. Clearly, there were discussions on the validity of racism despite the fact that it is ultimately a subjective topic.
