Re: Non-discrimination is no joke
  By definition a "joke" is supposed to be humorous, not realistic. Just
because someone posts or laughs at a racist joke does not make them a
racist, as long as they can also laugh when the joke is on their own
ethnic group. If the jokes offend you, you don't have to read those
newsgroups. I wish people would refrain from trying to impose their
own moral values on the rest of the net. It will inevitably lead
to censorship which most of us are against. Besides, we already
had this discussion once before, and that is precisely why net.jokes.q
was created.

P.S. I have been reading net.jokes and haven't seen anything even
remotely racist in months.
