Jokes are not condemnable, insulting people is.
Using sterotypical patterns that can always be shortened by "x...stinks,
x...is dumb", and replacing x by any category you dislike is never funny.

It's always difficult to translate jokes in a poor language like PC English.
That one is classical I think. If someone has a translation for the
answers...

When a poor black French waiter and a poor white French waiter get married
and can't afford shopping for food, what do they they have instead of dinner
?

"le cafe du pauvre"
("poor man's coffee " ? That means making love to forget poverty and hunger)

And their kids will be what colour ?


(scroll down)























"cafe au lait, avec plus ou moins de lait ", and they'll be beautiful.
