sitting around with your buddys (assuming you don't exclusivly hang out with your race) and cracking a few racial jokes is not racist.
mencia just does it on a larger scale.
you see, most of this country has racial problems. here in san antonio, we don't. its 56% hispanic, 7% black, 2% asian, and 34% white. when I hang out with my car friends, I'm usually the only white person there.
so maybe you're right in your part of the country, but here its different for the better. so thats why I feel how I do.
so making fun of a hispanic is ok as long as theres a couple of em in the group? yea sry thats not right.
theres so much more to racism than not hiring cuz of skin or callin someone a name.
and dont tell me that texas doesnt have very bad racist issues...cuz thats a load of crap...open ur eyes look around, gurantee if you tried you could start seeing it all around you. it permeates alot of our society.
edit: im just more against the public racial joke telling more than anything....its a double standard. as a white person i would be lynched if i told half the jokes mencia did simply because im white. want to tell them to your buddies in private? fine. but lets not use racist comments and observations as a way to get money and then cry foul when someone who is *gasp* a different race tries using the same methods to make money
