    I love a good offensive joke as much as the next guy, but it’s mostly the same ignorant old cheap shots when it comes to racist jokes. Hurr durr I know the bike thief was black because he left watermelon and fried chicken on the ground. Ok grampa time for your walk.

      It’s offensive because it’s the absolute lowest-hanging fruit. It’s the least amount of thought and effort possible to put into a “joke”. Oh, and the bigotry…

        Yep, exactly. It’s such a hack, easy joke to make and I almost find that more offensive than the racism.
