"people of color spend an average of 64 more hours a year on buses than white people" --NPR
peanut gallery: you wanted to sit on the bus so bad and now that you have it you've lost interest
i guess i'd more call it a cruel irony. when i heard that quote, i genuinely thought it was horrible, but i still laughed aloud. that, i think, it's just the irony that amuses me, because racist jokes usually don't

i guess it can be inclusive-or. something can be funny and horrible simultaneously

here, i guess, as a trajectory, let's dial it down from funny/horrible to funny/ethnic_joke
q: how many jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

a friend who studied pedagogic theatre showed me an example of inclusive ethnic joke. but i cant remember it. it is possible to make a joke and not make fun of somebody at the same time.
for all those horrible jokes, i think its very subjective. some get offended some dont. and let me get one thing straight:
im really pissed off by the amount of shitstorming people who arent personally affected. while, yes, it is good to have a safe enviroment and society, but art is a whole other beast.
also because secondly: many of those horrible jokes do have a very effective way of pointing out grievances. the bus joke is a perfect example.
now for my personal taste i prefer the grittiness of a sarah silverman showing me the mirror (as a first world citizen), than i enjoy dave chapelle, but i wouldnt say one is better than the other.
what i really would like is to maintain a solid artistic freedom and that we all dont take ourselves so seriously. sometimes you just have to talk about that huge elephant in the room. hopefully it takes the edge off for someone.
in short: let´s not have an art police

We know she hasn't seen nudes of you because she's still alive.

the Most Sarah Silvermanmoment Ever is when she was cast in a two-part star trek voyager episode set on earth in the 60's and she groundhogs out of the sunroof of a moving motor car piloted by, i think tuvac, threatening: I'm groundhogging out of the door. I'm going to scream. I'm going to Scream. Really. Loud
terrifying

thank you for what is, i suppose, the closest thing to a serious reply so far. an inclusive ethnic joke, seems very fiddly, like a lady at the salon attempting to pry your credit card off the formica with inch-long fingernail extensions. however, this is not that.
i guess i can clarify my situation: i reflexively laughed out loud at something, and was then confused why i did. that, as before, in the same way i'm not a huge fan of fart jokes, racist jokes bore me, actually, more than anything. lazy shite. so i'm thinking about it and i realize it's the irony, the role of busing in black history in america, now it's a problem too many black people are on the bus
and if you can divorce the human tragedy from this, you have to admit is pretty ironic and hilarious
how horrible on this is on a scale from The Weather Channel to pewdiepie
