Humour has always helped understanding. Better to laugh than to fight. Political correctness here only drives tribalism underground -- where it festers.
--Alex Dryden, Canada
intriguing point of view. Everyone knows Canadians are pussies, but they can be prescient. Does Dryden speak for all Canadians? I doubt it. But his comments speak for me. Thoughts?
I find racial/ethnic humour hilarious. Wednesdays South Park when Cartman told Token to abadon his ebonic tribal speak was hilarious. A joke is a joke. I draw the line when something is meant to taunt or intimidate. Stereotypes are funny and many are there for a reason (ahh thats good scotch) but once you mix in the element of anger it is uncalled for. I started a thread about this about some Spanish soccer fans yesterday. They were making monkey noises when black English footballers touched the ball. This is an attempt to intimidate and demean and is not funny.
