Funny is funny. Some would argue that Carlos Mencia is funny; I won't, but that's more a question of personal taste coupled with the fact that I'm partial to Joe Rogan. Mencia's made a mint off the fact that he's Mexican (actually, he's half Swedish too, but that's not funny). Lot's of Mexicans, Mexican Americans and plain old white bread Southerners like some of my friends laugh at his jokes.
If the joke is funny, it's funny. It may not be funny tomorrow or next year, but it's funny today. Imus told a joke best made 30 years ago, at least as far as race is concern.
