Jewish is a race?
...
Comming from Europe I think most from these regions agree with me that religious people are @#$%ing stupid, delusional and should get their facts straight.
It wa a joke. Here in Belgium we're happely making jokes about ourself, if you can't even laugh with yourself these days...

Where exactly do you draw the line, then? You don't! That is the underlying point here. If you make a line in the sand then there will always be someone new to tell you that the line is too far forward. Ok, we move the line back to appease the first guy.... a new guy walks up and says "but I want the line back more", Ok, we move the line back to appease THAT guy.... etc, etc, etc...
There is no way to make everyone happy and you will always find someone to offend in some way or form. There is a general rule of thumb, majority rules. What offends the masses is something that should only be said / done in familiar groups. What could offend the majority of the group should be left unsaid.
I see more and more of society leaning towards the side of the fence where we NEED to appease everyone under the sun. Remember the rabbi who killed Christmas?

This is where society is headed. If it can offend anyone then we must eliminate it.
Face it people, you will never make everyone happy all the time. Why should we? If you are personally offended you have the greatest power in the world.... your voice. Tell the person that you are personally offended and if they do not agree you have the second greatest power in the world... the choice to leave.
We are not all here to coddle you, make you feel all warm and fuzzy, and make everyone feel like a winner. Do you know that they removed dodge ball from schools in my area because it made the losers feel bad about losing? I read this in the paper and thought to myself that, in the day, our gym teacher used to encourage us to decimate the other team and used to praise us for winning.
There is nothing that is not open to ridicule and humiliation. There should be no lines since lines are constantly being redrawn. There is a simple solution, if you find offence in what you are doing, make it known and leave. If enough leave then there will be someone who notices and makes adjustments to encourage you to come back. If not then you were the one with the problem and only you can deal with it.
Take the preceding wall of text in context: I am not a bigot or racist and am very tolerant of things outside of my comfort zone. Also a child of a generation before the 'feel good' generations.
I agree with this.

A jokes a joke, if you find it offensive ignore it. Im sure there are bigger problems then kids telling jokes, it's not like there accomplishing anything. A teacher of mine once said, 'Racism is what you want it to be' your finding it offensive because your looking for ways to get offended by it. Lighten up
*Disclaimer: This is based on my opinion, if you don't like it i don't care, i'm not going to change it, nor will i apologise if your offended*
Why so serious?

heh, u think that is racist? have you TRIED to play on Ragnaros? that's the latin american realm for wow, specifically the realm for mexican players.
it's on the "vindication" battlegroup, and the sheer amount of racist scumbags on that battlegroup is enough to make me sick. I get treated worst than dirt just for being from a latin american realm (I actually play on Duskwood, a US realm, but recently made an alt on the latin realm for a diferent reason)
anyways, on that alt whenever I do a pug, I often get kicked before we even begin, as people b1tch and whine saying "ohh crap, another retard from ragnaros who can't even speak effing english, just kick that stupid"
when I coment "i can actually speak english" what is the clever answer they shoot? "u're not worthy of it, go back to speaking in "Maid language" cuz that's the only thing u animals are good for, mowning our grass and working as maids, now bye-bye" and that's followed by the ever-nasty "you have been kicked from this group"
most people from that battlegroup is utterly convinced that if someone isn't a native english speaker, they are automatically retards who can't play at all, and are horrible at their jobs, I have only managed to tank 5mans on that battlegroup once, just once, all the other times people just say "I refuse to go with a retard as a tank" even when I have quite a lot of experience as a DK tank. is not just me, anyone from the latin american realms is subject to be treated like second-class citizens for no reason at all when they pug, because so many in the vindication battlegroup have a god-complex that makes them think they are above the rest of humanity just for speaking english.
the extreme racism is so nasty that I honestly lost my apetite for pugs and just do 5mans with people from ragnaros.
pfff. shame on them.

honestly... people in "my generation" are completely idiotic. The older i become the more i realize that the internet and anonymity are really making people total... jerks.
Just need to understand that YOU are the better person... and... honestly "brush it off" and understand that people will be stupid.
Or learn to have a open mind and open sense of humor...
different times bring different challenges. lrn2adapt. lol...
I take offense to this statement... not really I was a jerk before i discovered the internet and will continue to be until the day I die.
on topic:
Some jokes are in bad taste yes I agree. Theplebian sums it up quite nicely as far as jokes are concerned. Their is a time and a place for all jokes. granted since their is a large diversity of people on WoW it is rarely the time nor the place but everyonce in a while it is great to have some comic releif after wiping on LK for 3 hours straight because of this or that. It is just a game grow a pair and get over it.

I'm looking for a guild right now, and I've started to put it into the guild app, where ever there's a free form, 'tell us about yourself' question. "I don't tolerate racism, sexism, or homophobia..." Hopefully this will at least find me guildmates who feel similarly. Now if only the rest of the world agreed.
Get the rest of the world to agree on that and you've got yourself a nobel peace prize . . .
Sometimes I hate human beings. For being the smartest animals on this planet, we're pretty ^&*!ing stupid.
A person is generally fairly smart. It's people that are stupid.

Making fun of one person, especially a moronic one, is good comedy, if incendiary. You will likely end up fighting said person.
Making fun or an entire culture is dangerous deep water. You are ridiculing millions of people you know nothing about, you are holding yourself up as better (how else could you judge their foibles if not from a position above them).
The bottom line is that when you do that, you are insulting people who are better than you. Honestly. Make fun of African Americans, and you are insulting a million successful philanthropists and social activists who are trying to make the world a better place. The same goes for Jewish folk, Indians, possibly even Martians. Being racist not only causes more racial strife, but it really makes the racist and his/her culture seem evil.
Save the ridicule for the single person, and please let them earn it from you. The one culture that is of every color, creed, and social standing is the moron. Let them raise their hand first, in that cute, adorable way morons have. Let them rage in Vent about how the low healer on the metter should not be allowed to roll on the healer trinket that dropped (same run as the OP, by the way, I was there too).
Once they volunteer, destroy them, but don't overgeneralize. Or you are a moron too.
