There is a fine line for everything. I.E. even I think the above cartoon is to far although I would just roll my eyes and ignore it. Some people have no sense of humor. On both sides. There are some people who just can not take a joke no matter how well it is said and others who just can not deliver a joke at all. I rarely make racist jokes anymore. My particular brand of humor has MOSTLY grown past that. Which is to say if I am making fun of a particular person (normally a political figure or something) then I might make a racist crack about him. But I rarely say broad sterotypical jokes. I think people are over senstive though. I mean a joke is a joke. A bad joke is a bad joke but it is still a joke. I personally don't think any body deserves worse then rolled eyes and possibly walking away. People suing others over jokes is just ridicules. I mean with the exception of the co worker (or other non friend you can't get distance yourself from for whatever reason) who feels the need to CONSTANTLY crack a racist/sexist/whatnot joke at your expense and you allready have tried to go through the regular paths (I.E. Complaining to management ) several times, THEN I could see possibly doing a lawsuit. Past that though people just need to get over themselves.
