I find it funny how it's never racism or sexism when it's against whites or men. I suppose because they were always the biggest jerks in history.

My thoughts mimic this song quite well.
Off topic, that musical is the funniest thing I've seen on stage.

Hey, hey, here's one:
"Why didn't the mexican want his daughter to marry the black guy? He was afraid the children would be too lazy to steal."
The kicker: my black mother taught me that joke, who in turn learned it from her mother, and so on. Where I come from, ironic racism is a finely cultivated art, to be enjoyed by those who are in on the joke, loathed by those who don't, and silenced by those who are irrationally averse to humor. Around these parts, anyone who's so much as suntanned can throw out the casual race joke, and as long as they don't mean it, everyone except for the uptight city-dwelling white folks (no offense to any uptight city-dwelling caucasions who might be reading this; but we do get a lot of those around here) will chuckle at it.
However, my homeland is something of a double-edged sword: if we find out that you are actually rascist, then we'll and mark you for death in a week's time.
So yeah, racism can be funny when done by someone who knows how, but it can be a grevious offense by someone who actually means it.

I did not vote in your poll, the thing was to overdone.
Yes, I like racist and sexist jokes. It all depends on how you tell them, without any malice. It also helps that I am willing to laugh at my own gender and race. Racism and Sexism can be funny.

Well, that's essentially all South Park is, and I very much enjoy that show.
So yeah. Yeah I do.

It depends. You can laugh at a racist joke, and enjoy racist jokes, but you also take responsibility for that joke. If someone is offended, that's your responsibility, and you should apologize. You also need to be sure that you are saying the joke in an appropriate environment. It's normally not an issue, but you have to remember that if you tell an inappropriate joke, and it is insulting to an audience member, saying, "It's just a joke" is not an excuse. Normal people can get away with it when they show the tact and restraint that is characteristic of a person who is not actually racist. Comedians are in an environment where it is implied that inappropriate things will be said. Theres a time and a place.
I'm not racist or sexist but I think those things are damn funny. Two huge incredibly destructive concepts built entirely on ignorance. Yet certain people will cling to them like a scrap of wood at sea and spout that rhetoric in a vain attempt to look intelligent, fail and ultimately make a circus clown out of themselves.
I don't find racism or sexism funny, but I see why some people do. However, at the end of the day, such things are immature and in poor taste. Personally, If I somehow so much as smirk at racism or sexism or laugh at a joke that turns out to be racist or sexist, I have trouble sleeping at night. I truly do.
I am sympathetic towards all peoples, male or female... except retards. They're fair game.

I find them funny as long as they're meant to be funny. If they're born of intolerance and meant to be offensive, then I don't find them at all funny. It's the same thing with gay jokes: I'm bi, but I don't have a problem making or laughing at gay jokes, but if they're derogatory they aren't a joke anymore. They're an insult.
I have an appreciation for really absurd/shock humor. So if a racist joke is really absurd or really fucked up, I'll probably get a laugh out of it. As far as actual racism goes, I don't consider my race superior to any other race.
