Was This Joke by a Junior High School Teacher Racist?

hahahahahahahahahaha!

wing-wong...



given what you described, I say it was racist....i think there is a person or way it could be said and not be racist, though...

 

It might me sort of racist, but it's really not that funny.

 

Well, you probably could have gotten him fired.

 

I think that was a healthy joke.

 

well, they can't make that joke anymore. china is like the number one wireless use nation or something. no more poles, or wings and wongs.

 

It's a good joke to tell a chick, she'll giggle provided she's not an uptight asian.

The only problem I have with ethnic jokes is because alot of times used to look down on others ethnicity. What minority likes to be looked down upon?

 

it's not racist. It's not funny either...well stupid funny

reminds me of a joke i heard when i was a kid about the way in which asian people select names for their kids...

 

It's showing prejudice, not racism.

 

I think that he probably meant nothing by it but that people who teach or lead others need to be especially careful in their use of words.

The fact that the joke made you uncomfortable is a sure sign he shouldn't have told it.

It does not take a genuis to see that you don't tell a joke about the ethnicity of the one student who may feel different already.

 

just because someone gets uncomfortable doesnt mean it should be told...maybe it means the person shouldnt be so sensitive?

the teacher obviously thought that it didnt bother hotballa...afterall, hotballa was playing along and actually giving the teacher the "green light" by continually laughing at it

 

i figured you had, which is why i didnt feel i had to say it again

I don't remember that class in college...i'm sure it was taught by a jew

(and that was a joke!...before someone starts to get all uptight on me)

 

i know, but you still laughed which sends a signal that you are ok with it. If you sat there stone faced and visable upset, and the teacher still told the joke...then that would be another story

 

got more chins than a chinese phonebook

 

so its ok for a teacher to tell those type of jokes to students as long as the kids laugh?

So a teacher shouldn't be held to a higher standard of ethics given the type of young impressionable minds he/she is in charge of?

Not to get preachy but we need to get back to the basics here.

 

Given the fact you are a fierce defender of everything African American, I suggest you not make cheap joke on my race.
