Was Greece the birthplace of humanity?

[PaulP]

There needs to be a relationship in place between the joker and the person/audience where the audience, for whatever reason, feels secure that the jokes are genuinely intended for light amusement and not as a slur. Context and relationship are very important. A stand up comic can get away with jokes that none of us ever could for this very reason.

It's part of the complexity of humanity that the same joke, can be seen as funny or racist, depending on the factors above. That's not hypocrisy, that's not double standards.
