Clint Eastwood believes the rise of political correctness is no laughing matter. He says the world would be a better place if we could still laugh at inoffensive jokes about different races. The Hollywood actor and director, 78, said we live in constant fear of being labelled racist for simply laughing about national stereotypes. 'People have lost their sense of humour,' he told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine. 'In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. 'You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist. 'I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a "Sam the Jew" or "Jose the Mexican" - but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. 'It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. ''I don't want to be politically correct. We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything.' His comments come in a week in which BT suspended 30 call centre staff after they had circulated an Irish joke by email. BT, however, insists other serious matters were involved and that a joke was not the sole reason for the suspensions.

I have often wanted to compile a list of classic movies and books that never would have been allowed to be published or made, had they been done today. Forget Huckleberry Finn, Gone with the Wind, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Animal House, Blazing Saddles, all the great SNL skits, and the list would go on, and on.
That scene in Blazing Saddles where Sheriff Cleavon Little is riding into town on his Gucci Saddle and the old prospector on top of the church trying to alert everyone one that "The Sheriff's a Ni-BONG! The Sheriff's a Ni- Bong! The Sheriff's a Nigger!" would never be allowed today and yet it was hilarious because it was both over the top and ridiculing the stereotypes all at the same time. In "Animal House" when the Frat Rats dump the society Sorority Girls in the Black Dive would be decried as a RACIST! When was the last time you saw a "Heckle and Jeckle" Cartoon? Q. Why won't they let the Irish give blood? A. Nobody wants plasma with a head on it. Q. Why do Jews have big noses? A. Air's free. Q. What's the most dangerous job in Poland? A. Riding Shotgun on a Garbage Truck. Q. Why did Mussolini have 5 bullets in him when they found his body? A. 200 Italian Sharpshooters were firing at him. Q. Why did Hellen Keller play the piano with one hand? A. So she could sing with the other.
One thing I try studiously to avoid is being PC. Ethnic humor is something of longstanding fun, and in a perverse way it is making fun of the stereotypes more effectively than some prunish PC putz having a hissy fit. Q. What do you call a Dyke with fat fingers? A. Well hung.
bwaaaaahahahaha !! How many Mexicans does it take to grease an axle?
Q. What do you say to a Mexican in a 3 Piece Suit? A. Will the defendant please rise.
A taco shell with food stamps in it.
Because it might be theirs.
20 How do you get them in ? Throw in a five dollar bill. How do you get them out ? Throw in a job application
Q. What's the quickest way to stop a group of blacks from mugging an old lady. A. Throw them a Basketball.
Why don't Mexicans play hide and seek ? Because no one will look for them.
Have you ever heard of a Mexican doing anything right the first time? What do you get when you cross a Mexican with an octopus ? I don't know but it sure can pick lettuce.
A: Smash his head with the toilet seat while he's drinking. Q: Why do mexicons buy Cabbage Patch dolls ? A: Because they come with birth certificates.
Q: What's a Jewish dilemma? A: Free ham. A: Reservations.
Q: Why don't they teach driver's education and sex education on the same day in Mexico ? A: They don't want to wear out the donkey. *** Q: Why do mexicans wear sombreros ? A: So they have a place to put their taco when they are stealing your hubcaps.
A: Rape.
Of course we ARE pigs. Hee, hee, hee! Q. How do you tell the Bride and Groom at a Polish Wedding? A. The couple in the matching Bowling Shirts. Q. How do you break up a Polish party? A. Flush the Punch Bowl.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL !! oink-oink *** What do urine samples and Canadian beer have in common ? The taste.
"Well," said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth." He continued, " So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here." "That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other two?" "Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."
So that the American idiots who tell them can understand them.

An American, a Scot and a Canuk were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.
