[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure your kid knows that it’s not ok to make dog-eating jokes to Asians other than his “best friend.” A lot of us don’t think that’s funny. And the fact that he has an Asian best friend doesn’t give him a pass. [/quote] Dog eating is not funny. Bad drivers jokes instead?[/quote] Not funny TO YOU. Very funny to this friend group. And if you're comfortable with bad driving jokes but not with dog-eating jokes, then you're really not that much different than these boys; its only a question of scale[/quote] And scale is important. Tropes that trade on the weirdness and foreignness of Asians are more insidious than jokes about driving skills. If all the kids like these jokes, ok fine. But the fact that you as the adult seem to revel in their freedom to make race-based jokes is very curious. Do you wish you could make racist jokes with impunity? [/quote]
