How many American tourists does it take to change a light bulb?

Fifteen. Five to figure out how much the bulb costs in the local currency, four to
comment on "how funny-looking" local lightbulbs are, three to hire a local person to change the bulb, two to take pictures, and one to buy postcards in case the pictures don't come out.

Because Indian can refer to them little red people , which is a race.

Indian is both. You see. Of course you do, Whirly, you are just playing. And it is entertaining.

But most of Europe were "Germans" at the time.

Back to Race Vs. Nationality.

By being called that I assume. Or do you mean Germans as the Romans would have used it?

Also, not everyone was German. There were these disgusting Roma und Sinthi. I hate gypsies.

You see Race is a difficult thing. Yes "Romans", "Germans", "Indians", "Americans" even "British".

I don't understand the second part about hating Gypsies, but that would be racist.

Well actually I don't hate any group. AS I know little of Gypsies, I can't really help you.

However is calling a racial group more racist than a joke based on racial stereotyping?
