I completely realize that the Black Lives Matter movement is very important.

Many things need to change but we do all need to be able to laugh at ourselves.

Hopefully we will not be losing our right to free speech.

Yes - I'm originally from Chicago - POLISH jokes galore. Italian jokes, same, I'd guess you name a 'descent' and jokes abound. Same for religion. Those comments/jokes etc are still fine, BUT...

It's sad we seem to now need an "OFFENSIVE FILTER" for everything we say, joke, link to on the Net, comment, etc etc. One main reason we DO NOT have Alexa in our home...who knows...
