Here’s the thing — the example given by the first one to take umbrage with me — and quoted here above — is not the same thing…….

Ethnic jokes have been a part of our American Melting Pot forever and those kinds of jokes can let us laugh at ourselves — and laugh with others…..

For instance:

All those “how many (whoever) to change a lightbulb” jokes are funny to me. Those can be ethnic jokes. They can also be religious denomination jokes or regional jokes or job jokes. All in fun.

Anyway, I am not thin skinned. But Holocaust jokes cross the line where I am concerned. And I feel the same way about Helen Keller jokes.

Hope that’s not too nuanced to be understood.

I laughed when I first read it and after thinking about it, not at all something to make jokes about. Hope mods take it down.
