How did the Polish man break his neck raking leaves?





He fell out of the tree.

Well I certainly meant no offense by it. I am of polish heritage and I find the jokes funny but your point is taken.

I don't mind ethnic jokes at all. You can put in any ethnicity you want, and they're just as funny, unless it happens to be yours!

Redneck jokes are fine, but ethnic jokes just push the line....

...and why are redneck jokes fine?

Is it because no one claims to be one or because they aren't as easily defined? Is it because they have thicker skins and don't get their panties in a wad over a stupid joke or when someone isn't politically correct?  Or is it because they are too stupid and can't understand?  Or is it because because deep down inside, maybe we are all a little bit redneck? :)

'Rednecks' usually classified as white people from the South or white people of a lower income are proably one of the most picked on, joked on, made fun of, etc. people in the United States, but you don't hear anyone crying or threatening lawsuits.  I mean look at the comic section of your local paper -- Snuffy Smith.  What do you think would happen if this comic featured Asians, Afro Americans or Poles and made fun of their lifestyle?

My point is not to defend rednecks, it is merely a wish that people could be a little thicker skinned and not automatically assume someone is a racist or xenophobe. Granted there is a fine line and defining that line is probably impossible to do because somehow, someway, someone is going to be offended, so you are probably correct that ethnic jokes should probably be left out all together, but your 'redneck jokes are fine', just made me think... and seemed a little contradictory.

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a soap box or a political debate.   ;)  Now back to the jokes!!!

Reminds me of the joke:

Polka on stolen instruments.

My casual observation is that when a group resists the jokes, the group remains an object of ridicule.  When the jokes are embraced, the stereotype is diffused.

Not long ago, "redneck" was offensive.  A hillbilly was simple and backwards, but a redneck nasty, bigotted, unreasonable, unresponsible, mean, etc.  Jed Clampett was a hillbilly.  Deliverance and Easy Rider gave us rednecks.  However, the proliferation of the joke has caused a great number of people to embrace the term in describing themselves.  Being a redneck is OK now.  CBS may have right for dumping Don Imus for his parody of blacks, but as a result Joe Sixpack probably thinks less of blacks for being whiners.  If I were black, I would be more offended that others felt the need to protect me from jokes.

I don't think that humor propogates stereotypes - the stereotype is softened.

My kin came from Scotland (an educated guess) and made their way into Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, all hillbillies.  From the texture and color of my hair, one might surmise that Vikings and sheep are in my distant bloodline.  From my taste for fried chicken and watermelon, one might also surmise that great great grandpa had more help than he was aware of when the cotton needed picked.

"Much can be made of a Scotsman, if he is caught early enough."   Samuel Johnson
