Racist jokes may not be necessary but how serious they are all depends on the source of the joke. The joke was made on BET. As for White Chicks, that movie was aimed at a diverse audience, seeing how it was released internationally, and it wasn't so offensive either.

I really can't explain the BET situation much further. The joke was made on a network predominantly watched by Black Americans. I took it as an inside racist joke that was aimed at white people but not meant for them to hear.

I guess I sort of do, but once again, it's the fact that the joke was aired BET that bothers.

Funny that you bringup that up. I may not be Arab, but as you know, I'm Muslim and ignorant ***** (more than half the people I have encountered in my lifetime) act as if the terms "Arab" & "Muslim" are synonyms or that all Muslims are Arab or vice-versa, so whenever they take jabs at Arabs, I have a tendency to take it very personally.
