So I saw this Arab struggling to change a flat tire, and I helped him out, and he said, “Thank you, my friend. A word of advice: do not drink Coca-Cola this summer.”
I nervously asked him why.
“Because it tastes like crap. Pepsi is much better.”
In a magazine interview, she explained that NBC’s apology concerned her as a Jew because it shows they’re losing control over the media.
Two gay men are walking down the sidewalk. Approaching from the other direction is a stunning, curvaceous woman. After she passes, one says to the other, “Did you see that?!” The other guy replies, "That was almost enough to make me wish I were a lesbian!"
Now that’s funny.
ROTFL. I have to agree. Sometimes Silverman’s schtick wears thin, but other times she can just nail it.
Just saw one on Cracked.com. It was phrased as a witty retort, but I’ll try to remake it as a typical joke:
Should Sue Storm be played by a black woman in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie?
Why not? She’s already invisible to society.
My favorite is
I went downtown and picked up some hoes and weed killer for my garden.
You know likes to eat fried chicken and watermelon?

There’s a similar one called “ordinary Muslim man”…
I behead … ing out soon
I’m gonna blow up … this image so I can read the text
How does Snoop Dogg keep his whites so white?
He uses bleeotch.
America will fall … behind if you don’t spend more on STEM education.
When does a black man become a nigger?
When he leaves the room.
Did you even read the OP?
A Jew, a lesbian, and a Polish guy walk into a bar.
“Ouch!”
Of course I did. I do before I post. It’s kind of a quirk I have. I even read the other posts.
So that’s your example of a joke seems prejudice but isn’t?
Or did you just see “prejudice” and “joke” in the thread title and decided it was a good opportunity to tell a racist joke you know?
Well, Leo’s joke seems to be aimed at racists who assume there is some valid time to refer to black people that way, and the punchline simply highlights the cowardice of people who say/do such things. IMO.
Q: How do you get 25 Canadians out of a pool?
“OK. Everybody out of the pool.”
Q: How do you drown a blonde?
Hold her head underwater until she can no longer breathe and stops struggling.
A related one, and less generic [insert obvious ethnicity/pejorative epithet], specific over centuries:
You can always forget you’re a Jew until someone reminds you.
A fairly well known joke/saying among Jews.
ETA: there are a number of similar Jewish jokes, these told as such, about Jews who insist to themselves that they’re really completely converted/assimilated Christians/upright stalwart members of [non-Jewish] “society,” with a punch line about how it never works. Less rueful than this one, however. But it unsurprisingly is a theme in Jewish humor.
All right, I hope I’m not the only one: I still have a frozen half-smile on my face trying to get this. Help?
