Re: Sardar "Jokes"
While I agree in general about the racial bias in some posts, I honestly believe that these days we are taking political correctness to an unwanted level. And why is it that we get so offended so quickly these days? For example, if someone posts a joke, where instead of 'Sardar ji', they put a 'Syed sahab' in a hilarious situation, will I be offended? Not really. A joke is a joke. There are some communities that have a better sense of humor than the others. Polish being one. They are the butt of jokes as well. Blondes are stereotyped as bimbos and jokes are written all over on blondes. Does it mean that all blondes should constantly be agitated that people are stereotyping them?
By the way, despite constant rebuttals posted here, many recent events on Gupshup (and in general) have convinced me that as a community, muslims have perhaps the lowest sense of humor possible, and absolutely can not take a joke on themselves. I don't know what kind of hang-up we have, but whatever it is, is very self-destructive.
