Chica :Por favor no lo tomes como algo racista ...
Tranquilo Payno, no lo tom� a mal. Vamos, que soy una de los primeros en la cola para contar "tasteless jokes". El s�bado mismo contaba unos cuantos. Pero, siempre advierto antes para que los que puedan sentir ofendidos pueden alejarse. Siempre corres un riesgo de ofender personas sin querer poniendo un chiste tan, digamos, cuestionable, en un foro p�blico... sobre todo en uno que atrae m�s guiris que espa�oles! Wink

Supongo que es la educaci�n norteamericana como dice jer. M�s que una hiper-sensibilizaci�n (es una palabra??)...es un reconocimiento que no todo el mundo es igual y que todos tienen sus propias experiencias. Algo que s� se nota en los EEUU m�s que en Espa�a debido al efecto "melting pot"...la mezcla de tantas culturas.

Sin embargo, Espa�a, poco a poco est� pasando por la misma fen�mena con el aumento de inmigraci�n. Supongo que tarde � temprano los j�venes espa�oles adoptar�n una nueva mentalidad y manera de ver las cosas que sus padres � abuelos. Mis propios abuelos maternales eran muy racistas, incluso hacia mi padre. Pero cuando va evolucionando y cambiando una cultura, tambien va cambiando la mentalidad.

En fin... curiosidades de las culturas.

P.D. No v� este chiste tanto machista como racista ya que se puede cambiar los protagonistas a mujeres y la palabra co�o para pene y sales con el mismo resultado. :jeje:

DIVERSITY!!!

It is interesting that the very thing that makes this world so great is the same thing that causes most conflicts and misunderstandings

A mi los chistes sexistas me suelen "repatear".

En gustos no hay nada escrito Payno, no se puede estar tan seguro de las cosas.

Pues yo creo que ya tenemos bastante con ver el telediario todos los d�as como para encima no poder echarnos unas risas a costa de nosotros mismos. No hay que ver las cosas de una manera tan cerrada, al fin y al cabo un chiste es un chiste.

Una amiga m�a acostumbraba a contarme chistes de todo tipo, entre ellos muchos machistas. Un d�a le pregunt� por qu� lo hac�a siendo ella mujer. �Sab�is lo que me contest�? Que un chiste es un chiste, est�n hechos para re�r y punto, y el que se metan con tal o cual sexo, raza, o lo que sea es lo que menos importa siempre que uno sea abierto de mente y no comulgue realmente con esas ideas. Hay chistes machistas, feministas, racistas, etc., que aunque yo no est� de acuerdo en absoluto con ellos, a m� me parecen muy buenos. Hay que dejar a un lado tanto prejuicio, la clave est� en la TOLERANCIA, con la que ser�s tan abierto de mente hacia un chiste malo como hacia una persona extranjera (o de otro sexo).

An interesting thread indeed, but to me the joke, if you can call it that, and even after the translation and Jer explaining it to me, just isn't funny.

This doesn't mean that I am SUPERSENSITIVE, as was expressed on the board. I just don't like TASTELESS jokes.

I had initially skimmed through the joke very quickly and didn't really understand it, but now that I have, I agree that it was tasteless and I don't think anyone was being hypersensitive by finding it objectionable.

We have a really good group here. Let's not spoil it through acts or words that backfire on honest intentions to be funny.

Please think before posting something that would offend others...or at the VERY least put it into a "truly tastless jokes" folder somewhere...where those opening it would realize that they had been forewarned.
