Joke thread

A young Arab boy asks his dad ‘What are you wearing on your head?’ The father said ‘Why, my son, it is a chichi. In the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.’

‘And what is the long flowing robe you are wearing?’ asks the boy. ‘Oh, my son!’ exclaimed the father ‘It is very simple. This is a djbellah. As I have told you, in the desert it is not only very hot, but the sand is always blowing. My djbellah protects my entire body.’

The son then asked ‘But Father, what about those ugly shoes you have on your feet?’ ‘These are babouches my son, the father replied. ‘You must understand that although the desert sands are very beautiful, they are also extremely hot. These babouches keep us from burning our feet.’

The son then asks ‘What is that black tent that mum and my sister are wearing?’ ‘It’s called a burkha, it helps the hot desert sand from hitting the face and the body during a sandstorm.’

‘So tell me then….’ added the boy

‘Yes, my son….’

‘Why are we living in Bradford and still wearing this shit….?’

Find this a bit racist to be honest.

It actually reflects the view of many young second/third generation immigrants. It's all part of connecting with other races / cultures/religions etc, by relaxing and/or adapting styles and attitudes.
Do you still dress and act the same as your parents/grandparents did 30, 40, 50 years ago? Probably not. Times and attitudes change.

A lot of humour is meant to make people think, and frequently makes people uncomfortable. There was no intention of any form of racism in my post... It's just daft humour on a joke forum.

Guy was talking to his mate at work - 'I had one of them Freudian slips when talking to the wife this morning'

'what's that then?'

'you know, when you say something very similar to what you were meaning to say but it means something completely different'

'What'd you say?'

'well I meant to say - pass the sugar dear, but it came out as Fuck off you fat bitch, you've ruined my life'

A plane crashes on a remote desert island and there are only 4 survivors: 3 very horny men and one beautiful blonde woman. After 2 months the woman is so ashamed of what they've been doing she kills herself. After another 2 months the men are so ashamed at what they've been doing they finally bury her. After another 2 months the men are so ashamed at what they've been doing they dig her up again.

Which bit of it do you find racist?

Is it the clothes described that would be typical Arab dress?

Is it the suggestion that an Arabian family live in Bradford?

If it was a Mancunian wearing a bucket hat under a stadium roof and his son asked him why he still had it on, would that be racism?
