I'm glad you said it was offensive. I'm hoping, although it should be obvious. that she just doesn't realize why the jew/grabbing coins thing is offensive.
Yup. I just came in here to find out what a grandniece is, but yeah, you've got to say something. Even if it's "You probably don't realize that a lot of people would take offense to what you posted. They might even think that you believe these stereotypes or have prejudices." Maybe she doesn't even know it's offensive?
This is perfect. I just sent this phrase to a friend who has a teen who has the tendency to repeat things she has heard her boyfriend's dad say. Thanks`
Might only be a year, I just remember it from what seems like a looong time ago.
I find it funny. Shrug.
Why would you admit this in a thread full of people saying it's awful?
I guess I'm feeling froggy. I actually just googled " is don't be racist, be like Mario offensive" and i didnt find anything blatantly ranting about it. So I'm comforted that I'm not alone in this
Ugh. My 13 y/o SIL posted this exact same thing. My H's cousin told her to take it down because it is extremely offensive and all SIL said was " take a joke", then went and told my mil. My mil's reply? Some people need a sense of humor. And my h wonders why I can't stand his mom.

and i'm amused as all get out that "well, some other people i googled don't find it offensive" as a defense. i'm sure i could google pretty much anything and find someone on the internet that thinks it's unoffensive.

It kind of made my day. LOL.
i'm going to start using it more often, personally.

You are far more of an asshole than I am. I think a joke telling people not to be racist and listing off a bunch of cultures, not races, is funny. I also think its funny in general that people are THAT FUCKING SENSITIVE about it. It's a joke about a stereotype. Remove the sticks people.
Omg, you're so right, Housegeek. We're allllll just not getting the joke. You guys, it's about cultures, not races! Also, Housegeek, you seem like a real expert. Could you tell me more about the difference between race, culture, and ethnicity? You seem to have a real handle on nuance!

It's not about cultures, it's about stereotypes about races. I find it funny that they list different cultures. Eta again Nic explained it better. Eta for your edit, I'm sure you can google it
Jermy, I don't find actually offensive racist jokes funny.
