I have sai, quite a few times, that I am not getting into an arguement or disucssion on whether x is OK or whether y is OK.
I, personally, did not get offended by this one, but then, I have no idea what or who a redneck is... But I can understand why others did get upset.
My only point.. My ONE point I was trying to make to you, is that jokes, in one way or another, are making fun of someone or something. Thats all... nothing more, nothing less.
The "lightbulb" jokes (how many xxx's does it take to change a lightbulb) may seem harmless, but they are making fun of who ever the xxx is.
I know you are concerned with ethnic jokes, but I was simply pointing out that it is much more wide ranging than just ethnicity.
