The pretending to not make the occasional off coloured joke. Because they are too rigidly aware and just being politically correct for the sake of it. I mean, if we were comfortable with each others differences, we should be able to joke about it in a way that is not offensive.
@CoxswainOtter ok, then it still means that they know it's wrong what they're doing. You said yourself in a reply lower "nobody on the internet really cares about semantics".
I don't see where an "Off color" joke has anything to do with race. If you are talking about ethnic jokes, that is a different matter. When I hear or read off color I think of blue content, and except for a cartoon show and stupid movie I know of no race of blue people.
Neither. For starters not all off color jokes deal with race. Second, just because a joke deals with race does not make the joke racist or the person involved with the racial joke a racist.
