Pearl Harbor and the Titanic - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Please note that this joke shows how silly racial and ethnic stereotyping/grouping is, rather than endorsing it. Even so, on the off chance someone takes offense to this, PM me and I'll take it down.

---------------------

A Jewish guy and a Chinese guy are sitting at the bar talking politics. After a while, the Jewish guy gets upset and punches the Chinese guy. The Chinese guy asks, "What the hell was that for!?!?'

"That was for Pearl Harbor!"

"Pearl Harbor was the Japanese. I'm Chinese," he replies.

"Ahh, Chinese, Japanese, Korean. You're all the same."

Things cool down and they start talking again. Before too long, the Chinese guy takes a swing at the Jewish guy. "What was that for," the Jewish guy yells.

"That was for the Titanic!"

"What the hell are you talking about? The Titanic was sunk by an iceberg."

"Ahh, Iceberg, Goldberg, Steinberg. You're all the same."

It's an old joke, but it still makes me laugh.

DEI37 · 08-20-2004, 05:15 PM

Pretty good joke and imho not offensive.

so a jewish guy and a chinese guy are on the subway, going to work together. they ride the same train everyday, and eventually a friendship develops. they also develop a joking rivalry against each other, so they often brag to each other. one day they're talking about their races, and the chinese guy brags: "my race developed the first known system of writing."

the jewish guy responds, "well my race developed the first great religion"

the chinese guy says, "my people built the great wall"

the jewish guy shoots back: "my people built the great pyramids"

the chinese guy says, "my civilization has been around for 3,000 years"

the jewish guy responds "well my civilization has been around for 5,000!"

the chinese guy's jaw drops and he says "holy shit! 5,000? what the hell did you guys eat for the FIRST two thousand years??"

sorry if any of the facts in this are wrong, it's an old joke and i am repeating it from memory, so the bragging things are probably not exact.

made funnier, though, by the fact that i had chinese tonight (i'm jewish)

Ummm. . . My best guess is that jewish people eat chinese people?

If you ever hang around my Jewish friends much, you find that they all seem to have a great fondness for Chinese (my friend always tells me that it is ok since Chinese food rarely ever uses pig for their "pork", so it is still kosher*grin*)

i think this is where this joke was going.
