My father was in an industry that employed mostly immigrants. New comers who were mostly skilled, dedicated, and hard working. I grew up with ethnic jokes but never once were they told with the intention to be mean spirited. I was fortunate to have had summer jobs working with those people. I had and still have nothing but the greatest respect for them. There are exceptions, of course, but now were taking individuals as opposed to racial groups. When I started my own family I, being the dad, made a point of passing along my sense of humor. What I didn't realize was that at the same time my kids were being indoctrinated by their Marxist teachers. Additionally my kids never had the opportunity to first hand experience what a mutually respectful, multi-cultural environment is like. Long story short I am now nothing more than a old racist in their eyes and can therefore be discounted out of hand. Every single Chinese Driver joke, for example, that I told had the compete opposite effect to what I intended. I no longer attempt to have any discussion with them unless it is about what they are doing because the second the topic veers into 'sensitive' areas I can see the virtual hands being clamped over ears while brains shut down. Breaks my fucking heart. And there's not a thing I can do about it.
