A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Arkansas With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blond jokes when a blond woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting: 'I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes.
What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? Its guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person.
Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blonds, but women in general...and all in the name of humour!' The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blond yells, 'You stay out of this mister! I'm talking to that little b'stard on your lap!'

I've pulled the two that have appeared so far.
Racism isn't something that can be done 'slightly'... it either is or isn't.
And some of the phrases I've seen used eg, 'Paki' are offensive.
So to draw the line VERY clearly for you all, NO racist jokes.
This is the second time I've had to intervene in this thread on the subject of racist jokes, a third time will see the thread closed.
Please guys and girls, use your noggins.

Cheers Nick, would be a shame to lock it down, but if it has to be it has to be
There's 'dodgy' and there's too far.
I don't want to close it so if everyone just uses their common sense it'll be fine.

A husband and wife are shopping in Tesco's when the man
picks up a crate of Stella and sticks it on their trolley.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.
"They're on offer, only £10 for twelve cans!" he explains.
"Put them back. We can't afford it!" insists the wife and they
carry on shopping...
A few aisles later, the wife picks up a £20 jar of face cream
and sticks it on their trolley.
"What d'you think you're doing?" asks the man, indignantly.
"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," she says.
So the man replies:
"SO DO TWELVE CANS OF STELLA . . .
AND THEY'RE HALF THE F*%KING PRICE!!"
Einstein's Theory...
Einstein's was born March 14, 1879. He would be 129 if he were alive today.
Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919. At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was so well endowed.
He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even stronger if there is a DNA connection. This came to be know as ...............................
…Einstein's Theory of 'Relative Titty'
very good dave, even if it took me a moment to understand what I was seeing...
Ok then sorry about that
But then, going by similar standards, aren't sexist (like most of those in the thread), ageist, hair colourist, basically EVERY joke bad? After all, all jokes are poking fun at something. Is it just that racism is so much worse? I don't think that's right.
I could make a joke about a small person, call them a dwarf. I'd get slammed for discrimination.
Jokes about women - now I'm sexist.
Jokes about blondes - whatever the word for that is, I'm now an -ist.
Jokes about the young/old - ageist.
The mentally infirm/handicapped - I'm just plain mean.
Jokes about people who happen to not be white - OMFG, that's disgraceful
Religious jokes will get the pro-religion crew on you.
(edit)There are even jokes about sexuality. More dodgy ground.(/edit)
(Jokes about death too. If you lose someone close to you, your whole perception changes, if only for a while. Talking about the Patrick Swayze ones here)
And, of course, all jokes are politically incorrect.
In the end, we just cannot win.
So where's the line to be drawn? I like to think that I'm not any of the above, indeed I have many friends who are white, black, male, female, blonde, brunette, redhaired/ginger, all of varying ages. And I know, I could tell any one of them a 'bad' joke, and they'd find it funny.
Sorry to put more damper on this thread, there are some funny ones about, but there will be someone who will take offense at a joke, and this holds true for every joke ever made.

True, we'll turn a blind eye to an Irish joke but be shocked at a black one.
JK is a sexist, racist, blondist, ageist, plain mean and a rapist

I never said that. They may well be 'rape jokes' somewhere in the world. I would fall into the category of people that take offense at them. I do like most jokes, it's true. But I do draw a line somewhere, even if said line matches no-one elses.
