So jokes about Asian accents pokes fun at how funny their names are, and on mispronunciations. So white people poking fun at Asians.

But your jokes about Nigerian accents....are made by Nigerians about white people.

Interesting.

YouTube video here we have an Asian mercilessly mocking London Street slang and accents. He's funny as fu k too.

Pretty sure CDTM is racist. Dunno about the rest of you, but I have my suspicions.

The problem here is that - for Todd - being racist simply ain't enough.

He's also a xenophobe, homophobe, biphobe... you name it.

No respect for the political views or faith of others, either.

In the end, all he wants is some attention. And you keep feeding him more than others mmm

Are you his sister?

Well again, I'm asking for jokes where white people poke fun at 'black' accents. You surely find black American accents funny as well, yes?

So post some jokes laughing at their accents. I want to see how funny they can be, I want to see which jokes you find funny, which poke fun at black Americans. We have all seen which Asian accent jokes you find funny, and you say you find all accents funny - so let's see your black American jokes. Maybe ones poking fun at the Deep South?

Go on Youtube, search for african accent comedy, and click on the ones featuring a white dude on stage. If it doesn't work try out different replacing the keyword african with different African countries: zimbawan, somalian, ethiopian, etc.

That said, African-american accents are not African accents, and I'm not sure if I've heard anyone ever make fun of their accents specifically, normally it's Ebonics and stereotypical phrasings that are made fun of.

really there isn't a lot of that comedy with accents and black people, because Africans where its a different accent are almost impossible to follow for most white people. Those in the west tend to have western accents. Also very few westerners ever go to Africa so little context a lot of cultural things in Africa are funny. But you have no shared point of reference so comedy doesn't work really. I mean on a personal level misuse of words and strange phrases in Africa are funny to westerners in Africa.

Oh that's ok then, we can have shared cultural backgrounds then. You can share what you find funny about black American accents and phrasings (as you find all accents funny.

Maybe some jokes, some YouTube skits of black Americans with funny phrasings/accents? Then gently poke fun at them, and let us know the funny things they say/mispronounce?

Similar to what we have been shown with funny Asian accents and mispronunciations. Do the same with black Americans.

to underline things further, it's well know on these forums I'm of Irish traveller (gypsy) extraction.

I still find d this joke funny

nuVo10h3nHg?

And DS further more if my jokes offended I apologise.

There was that one time I called DS "my Asian pet" and he went full Punisher on me.

Careful, Whirly.

In all seriousness, it wouldn't kill us to try to be a tiny little bit more considerate.

yeah, if it upset him as an Asian, I shouldn't have said it. Stand up we choose to go or not. He didn't choose to have what I find funny foisted on him. So yeah, apologies to him.

Or Dark could lighten up and choose not to look for something to get offended about. Shocker I know, the concept that taking offense is a deliberate choice.

You calling him "my Asian pet," is equivalent to him calling you "my European pet." If he thinks being Asian is worse than being a European in this context, then he'd have to be prejudiced against Asians. Because those are the only terms by which those expressions differ.

You're right. But whether people want to engage with others in a considerable manner is up to them. There rules prevent attacks beyond a certain point, but as long as that line isn't crossed it should be fine.

But people being offended should never be an issue. If I decide to take offense then that's on me. As long as someone is adhering to the rules, they should be fine.

What are you hiding in your fridge, Ast?

People do get offended though and we shouldn't offend them over personal things. Had I realised I would offend DS, I would not have made those Stewart Lee jokes out of context or indeed made them at all.

Common sense.

I'm not offended at all, speaking more on behalf of DarkSaint, who likes to remind us every once in a while that blacks shouldn't be treated as some sacred cows; Asians, Indians (and so on, and so on) are fully capable of feeling somewhat offended at times by similar jokes, too.

Circus of Crime has more class than Black Lives Matter.
