I often tell corny jokes when I am involved in public speaking and people often give me jokes to tell because they like them. The other day I was given one of those Irish homes but I told the person who gave it to me that I couldn’t use it because I thought it was offensive. She thought I was being too precious but I don’t really see why it is not racist to tell Irish jokes to the detriment of Irish people whereas if it had been a joke about Africans or Asians it would definitely be considered racist. They are all the same to me.
