Jhyalincha, I totally understand your point of view and agree that ethnic and racial difference can be used for much needed comic relief. I too think it's perfectly ok to make fun of others as long as you can make fun of yourself too. The examples you gave are of real people, using racial/ethnic anecdotes to pass along humor. I believe that if you can be open about your real identity then you can pass along such humor with relatively more ease.

You have to also consider the derogatory language used in twake videos. Although some ethnic humor can be tolerated, derogatory humor cannot be considered kosher where you call someone a MF or some other offensive expletive based on his/her ethnicity or race.
