    i mean, in all honesty, have you ever laughed at a white/black/jew/muslim joke ever? if you did, you should be able to handle me cracking a mexican joke. i dont give a shit that certain groups are capable of cracking a white trash joke, hell i crack redneck jokes all the time. some stereotypes are so true we hate to admit it. i say, admit, and laugh at life's stupid realities. just my opinion, i cant be so uptight to consider a prov oking attempt at humor offensive, and if i do, have the common sense to simply change the channel.
    i honestly agree with you but some stereotypes aren't gonna change that easy.

      That's fine and dandy, but there's a time and place for everything, and on-air isn't the right time or place. We say jokes to our friends whom we know might not take offense to it; this is a completey different scenario than the one you subscribe to. The fact of the matter is that you don't say the jokes to people you don't know who are the target of them. This really isn't a hard concept to grasp.

        ^^^ Moreover on air the dividing line between "just a joke" and hate propaganda tends to get blurry. Some people are just too dumb to take a joke as a joke and will take stereotypes as reality.
