Problem with Tom's "joke" was no humor in it. Humor needs more in it than ha ha the word Mexicans has the word cans in it. As humor goes, it was a dud.
Here's a classic local joke that addresses hostility between ethnicities, but it's funny:
quote:
Every day, a hen owned by the Hawaiian would lay an egg in his garden, which was used in his daily breakfast. One day, he looked into his garden, only to find that the hen had laid her egg in the Texan's garden.
He was about to go next door when he saw the Texan rush out of the house to pick the egg. The Hawaiian ran up to the Texan and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Texan disagreed because the egg was laid on his property.
They argued for awhile until finally the Hawaiian said, "In Hawaii, we normally solve disputes by the following method."
"I kick you in the nuts and time how long it takes you to get back up, then you kick me in the nuts and time how long it takes for me to get up, whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
The Texan thought for a moment and noticed that the Hawaiian was only wearing a pair of those funny "slippahs", then looked at his own feet which boasted a shiny new pair of alligator cowboy boots... with pointed toes no less. He quickly agreed to resolve the dispute "Hawaiian Style."
The Hawaiian took a few steps back and kicked the Texan in the balls as hard as he could. The Texan fell to the ground clutching himself and howeled in agony for 30 minutes.
Eventually, the Texan stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you."
The Hawaiian replied, "Nahhh bruddah, keep the egg."

Oh man,
I’ve heard some real racist stuff in my time but you take the cake lady. Are you insinuating that Texans are stupid? I know lots of those nice people and to make such a sick joke like that just shows what a bigot you really are in your heart. I’ll bet that you would never repeat that defamation of another person to their face. Only a mentally challenged person would laugh at such an attempt to be humerus. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me awake at night and I’m sure many people here will agree with me. To all of you Texans out there please try and not think that this person is mean spirted. Look at it as a person that just had a short circuit in a very poor attempt to be funny.

I read Kathy H's joke to a roomful of people, both men and women, the women mostly chuckled and the men mostly cringed. The two Texans present (female) laughed the hardest and one said it sounded just like her ex brother in law, the other said it sounded more like her husband.
This unscientific survey shows that humor continues to be very much in the eye of the beholder: men generally don't like ball busting jokes but women sometimes find them funny.

I emailed John, lol.
My example joke isn't the funniest ever, but it has some interesting elements. I never thought of it as a "ball-busting" joke, Carol. I mean, that is the crudest level of the joke, the thing that adds a wince to it, but that's not what makes it funny. Also it should be read in a Hawaiian accent, or a Hawaiian and Texas accent if the teller has the ear.
I was thinking more about this, but it's NYE and time to celebrate. Maybe tomorrow.
People love ethnic jokes in Hawai'i -- Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Samoan, Tongan, Haole, Podagee jokes, for example. And there are jokes objecting to the jokes ...

“True Portuguese Story”
One night at a bar I visited the men’s restroom and one big guy followed me in.
“Eh, Funny Man!”, he yelled at me, “I’m Portuguese, and I don’t care for all those jokes you been telling all night!”
Thinking fast, I replied “Bruddah, I was not making fun of the local Portuguese. The jokes I tell are about the people from Portugal.”
“My mother is from Portugal!” he yelled, and pulled out a razor.
And I think he would have killed me if he could have found somewhere to plug it in.

So true! I would suggest that if you have to shoot someone that you know these word and know them well. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE, say them often and make no other statement. I pray none of you ever have to make this choice.

Hey Lack, and anyone else,
Offended or not ... I talk to people from all over the country on a regular basis and the only ones to even bring up the 'Mexicans' subject are Texans. Stuff like ... " awe, we do a little fishin' and huntin', mostly for mexicans" ..... is normal conversation for some of these lifelong sportsman.
Just FYI.
aloha,
the cabbage face, bog trotter, boxhead who is always @ war with himself and who, at three A.M. stared @ that very Red Rider for three minutes @ Walmart on Christmas Eve but did not buy it ( this year ) due to feeling the wife would use it against him in divorce proceedings.
