The fact is........we all tell jokes and receive jokes. Some of them are directed at particular people, races or incidents and can be considered un-PC. Some of them are groaners and some are as funny as a joke can get...... The ultimate aim of these jokes is to make light of a bad situation and it is human nature to hide anguish in laughter. I receive loads of jokes on a regular basis by text and e mail. Some of them are downright sick and some are hilarious, but I take all of them as how they were intended. Not as racism, sexism, ageism, dwarfism or any other form of ism........I take them as jokes..
