I think that's the key there. Laughed AT.

Now as far as the Warner/Tex Avery cartoons or the 1st Batman serial, i don't advocate censorship AT ALL. In fact as posted above and as was posted in that old 'Birth of a Nation' thread, I think there is a tasteful way to present racist images as historical document.

Continuing to delight though in images designed to diminish and caricature a whole race is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

And no, I don't go around making racial jokes. Off coluor jokes? Of course. Considering that most people I come in contact with are of various and diverse ethnicities, I'd have to be a real asshole to go about my day making tasteless racial jokes around people.

No one I know apart from this bitter loner guy who goes around calling black people 'monkeys' when he's not mumbling to himself about "liberals'' all day long, do either.
