All you are doing is altering the target of offense and presuming you know why I find it so.

Best you stick to the workings of your own mind.

First time I ever saw self-satisfied jingoism spun into cluelessness with such brio

I found the joke rather cliche. But the Arab and Mxxican werent really the "butt"of the joke, so you cant call it racist. The butt of the joke is the american cowboy mentality.

Now the shoot first mentality may be the subject of a long thread someday.

Meh, this thread is getting way way too much attention, And no I don't mean that it's offensive, I mean it's a really bad joke, like one your unfunny uncle would tell around his bar room buddies who were too drunk on his dime not to laugh.I'm still trying to figure out why an arab would be at a bar... drinking alcohol, that's not offensive, that's just lazy lol

I know it's lazy cause I've heard the joke a million times before, just different stereo types, and where did I hear it, why yes, at a bar lol. Being told and retold by sweaty ancient outta shape white construction workers when they've had a bit too much to drink and they start resenting what ever younger boss they work for.

If you really think this is offensive, just walk down to the nearest "heehaa" bar and take a seat.

Yep. I only have four fingers on one hand and my favorite man in history is Napoleon Bonaparte. I'm a fascist pig. Really. It's not that I find senseless, racist murder to be unfunny, it's that I think any alternative humor besides my own to be funny. Totally.

/sarcasm.

End of the line. If you post controversial things, be ready for varied and mixed reactions.

What would you say if the joke had been modified so that the Mexican or Arab had shot the American?

well,if it was a funny joke and an American got shot i would laugh.....but since we are not in someone elses country in illegal numbers large enough to make it where ya could shoot us and have more leftover....

well, switching the nationalities in this particular joke wouldnt make me giggle....but tell me a funny one about a mexican or arab shootin one of us and ill giggle and not apologize for it....
