Benny Hill made a joke back in the days of the pharaohs about a white man and a black man apparently changing colour as a result of the TV film uncontrollably turning from positive to negative.

I don't remember anybody ever complaining about it.

Ah that was in the days before everyone was suspect, before it was your duty to watch your neighbourhood.

George Orwell predicted these times.

Some Indian friends told me this joke, what do you call an Indian standing on one leg, balansing.

Totally inoffensive in my book and funny.

I very much doubt the Chinese washing machine advert would offend many because of how immature it is, it's more unfunny/stupid than offensive

Racist comedy as per that racist joke in post 9 of mine they're not all offensive.
