Used this joke in the newsletter yesterday and received a lot of negative responses:
Mark: 'Do you really have to include offensive racist "humor" like this in your newsletter?'
Aaron: 'I have been a subscriber for a while now, mostly because of the daily jokes. The joke today was so extremely racist that I am unsubscribing. I thought it would be worth it to someone to know why. We live in the 21st century. Let's get past this type of thing.'
Adam 'Wow. Angling for the racist jokes in your e-newsletters now, I see. Can't wait for the funny KKK and concentration camp jokes to follow. Shameful.'
Brooke 'that joke is horrible and slightly offensive'
Joseph 'Just to let you know.., your "Smile of the Day" is VERY, VERY Offensive to all Indian People and Hindus. The world is MUCH TOO SMALL for racist Jokes! I do hope to see a Formal apology from you soon! (Oh, I am NOT a Hindu or of Indian decent however I simply was lucky enough to travel the world and NOT have parents who would tolerate such Filth coming from my mouth!)'
Katie 'That joke is offensive.'
I want to answer, my position:
Any joke offends someone, blondes, drunk people, men or women, faith, children, green peace if the joke about animals and etc. It all depends on your perception. For example, Im a Russian and when I read any joke about my nation (vodka, bears, communism - you know) I just smile. Very hard to choose a joke that would not hurt anyone.
