would you laugh at jokes even though it is discriminatory, hurt others  |
|
 or would go against your values. We all want to have a good laugh. But sometimes those jokes that we come across that are sooo funny are also in way not a good jokes if we analyze. but sometimes we just over looked even it is discriminatory cause it was way too funny and we can't just let this jokes go without having a good laugh and even try to tell others that joke. would you do this? i admit i encountered this kind of joke but i realized for me it is more important that i don't insult other people. one example of this joke that is kind discriminatory when the hollywood actor Baldwin, i forgot the name . i am sure you know him. Made a joke about filipinos as know for made to order brides and that foreigners can hook up with filipino women online to find as brides. i know that it does happen to generalize and make it a joke is no laughing matter i think. What is your stand on this?

1.  sudiptacallingu (7279) | 7 months ago |  Well yes, I can laugh at a good joke, even though discriminatory, but I must learn to accept such types of bad jokes when they are on me. in India we have many states and people of each state are quite unique…so we have these state jokes where people from one state cut silly and insulting jokes about people from other states. This is quite common and everybody laughs at them but we make sure that people of that particular state which we are joking about, are not within earshot.

 hotsummer (2757) | 7 months ago | that is quite true as well here in our country. people in our capital city of my country usually laugh at other people in other state because their diction is quite totally strange. when they pronounce words of our main language it sounds so weird and the words tend to change in the manner of pronunciation and so people from other state and are just new in main city, though they know how to people our local language have to learn how to pronounce it well. cause they different dialect and different way to read letters. like the way they pronounce "I" as "E" and vice versa. and so that makes it really funny when you hear them talking and they are quite often being used as jokes in our local shows. but they are only insulting when you them on personal basis. but when they hear it in some local shows they don't get offended cause they accept that they sound different. | |

2.  oindy54 (369) | 7 months ago |  I should share with you this: in India we have a community of people called the 'sardars'. They are Punjabis actually. You won't believe this may be, but in every person's cell phone, you are sure to find jokes on this community. People belonging to this community are assumed as stupid,unintelligent people who make blunders and have no brains. Every day a new joke on a 'sardar' is made up by someone and forwarded through messages over the cell phone;and people all over the country enjoy these jokes thoroughly. I wonder why these people don't protest,it's about hurting a community's sentiments at the expense of generating laughter.

| 3. polachicago (7895) | 6 months ago |  I agree, some jokes are poor on taste and are very discriminatory or generalizing.
I think that people joke about other people because they don't know much about the culture. Everything different that what they know is under stupid joke...
I am not laughing......

| 4. neelianoscet (2157) | 6 months ago |  I laugh when I see it as very funny even it hurts. I cannot control myself, but to avoid insulting the person involve. I always cover my mouth and laugh silently. I do not laugh louder as i know the feeling of being humiliated. I do not like others to do the same things with me. My sister always laugh at me whenever I did something embarrassing. I really cannot control the situation and the way I talk. They find me very funny which I do innocently. I really do not like to appear funny and dumb sometimes. But, it is the way they interpret my action. Anyway, it is their fault and not my problem anymore. They will be the one to feel guilty. As what you mention, any delegatory insult that is directly incline to any Filipino and making the image bad. It really need a sincere apology for making as the object of laughter. he is forgiven but cannot forget.
