Sometimes, racism can be funny! And instead of outrage, it invokes pity!
Here are a few examples:
First, everyone’s favourite American election issue, Outsourcing! (They hate it so much that they even made a terrible movie about it!)
There are so many things wrong with this video.
a) The background music is probably middle eastern. But really, India, Arabia, all brown people must listen to the same music, no?:
b) None of the background pictures are actually Bangalore. One of them is Connaught Place, New Delhi!
c) What’s with the accent?
To be fair, the “many, many” jobs guy is simply hilarious! Hey, NRI’s, you should hire him at the next birthday/anniversary party to entertain the kids, so that the adults can talk about the desh, without getting disturbed.
Anyways, seriously, Arkansas?
Your state is famous for only two things, cousin-marriage and giving birth to Presidential candidates.
And out of the two Presidential candidates, Bill Clinton pretends he’s from New York because now that he doesn’t have to run for an election, he doesn’t want anyone to remember his hee-haw connections and as for Mike Huckabee, that’s just another hilariously stupid thing about Arkansas.
So if you rednecks want to compete with people from India, then, instead of blaming other people, get an education. Oh, sorry. Let me spell it out for you: ej-u-cay-shun. It means book-larnin’.
If you want your children to be competitive in the international market, maybe get them to read something other than the bible or Going Rogue? Or maybe you shouldn’t have sent your children to Jesus school, in lieu of college?
If you want jobs in Arkansas, then maybe it’s best not to teach your children that evolution is not true and global warming is fake? Because if you do, then they’re going to end up like you. Bitter, dumb and clinging on to their guns.
Who am I kidding? It’s obviously those damn foreigners, who take away jobs you are not qualified to do!

Now, you may not know this, but seems like England is having elections! I know! I thought Susan Boyle became their Prime Minister for life last year? Or whatever. How do British elections even work?
Anyways, this post is not about that. It’s about idiotic racist emails!
Two Tory councilman have been suspended for sending out a racist joke via email, because the Tories are trying to convince everyone that they aren’t bigoted and racist anymore and welcome everyone to their party! As long as they are rich, white and straight!
So here is the joke:
A Somalian arrives in the UK as a new immigrant.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr UK man for letting me into this country, giving me housing, money for food, free medical care, free education and no taxes!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am an Afghani [sic]!"
The man goes on and encounters another passer by. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in the UK!"
The person says, "I not from the UK, I am Iraqi!"
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, 'Thank you for the wonderful UK!'
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Pakistan, I am not from the UK!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you British?"
She says, "No, I am from India!" Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the British?"
The Indian lady checks her watch and says: "Probably all at work."
Haha, what jobs is she talking about? There are no jobs in England!
And those which exist, are all thanks to those damn foreigners!
Here are some suggestions on what the Indian lady at the end of the joke should say, to make it less racist and/or better:
a) All the British people are at the pub, drinking themselves silly!
b) All the British people are auditioning for Britain's Got Talent!
c) All the British people are working for my husband’s company!
d) All the British People? They’re all resting because they knawed on a terribly large piece of spotted dick and now all of them have food poisoning!
That’s not funny, it’s true.
