Not all of us arewhite.
I wonder why you assume that all the people that you've never seen in real like look the same as you?
As a modern English Black man, I don't have a problem with black jokes as long as they ARE jokes and not thinly disguised xenophobia.

errr ...what was I mean't to have assumed ....?
I find it hard to think of any 'black jokes' that AREN'T thinly disguised xenophobia. I think the basis of a lot of humour is simply the recognition of a difference and commenting on it - thus I find it hard to imagine a 'black joke' that I wouldn't find offensive - unless you know any ????
Personally I find the Daily Mail far more offensive than anything on this site ...
Wasn't a recent topic "what if Jim Davidson was PM" or something ... let me go back and check the posts from then to see what was 'acceptable' humour and what wasn't ...
'Course its the towel heads you really gotta watch ... (oh no, I've really done it now ...)
