WRONG. School is statistically longer if you are Asian-American (higher chance of post-graduate studies). These later stage studies would also be perceived by the average person as harder.

    This is funny because, just like the original post, it combines two crude stereotypes about African Americans: that they are bad at school, and that they have big penises. The humor arises from using a common descriptor that fits both racial stereotypes at once.

    This is funny because an overwhelming proportional number of African Americans are condemned to jail sentences due to social and economic disparity. It also attracts attention to the fact that African Americans, being stereotypically dimwitted, would drop out of school early and commit crimes that would get them condemned instead.

      Why would you try to convince people we aren't racist around here? Things have only just improved in the last year-12 months-. Back a couple of years ago it used to look like the front page of stormfront when you opened reddit. And god forbid you said anything to the contrary, down you'd go. Things are vastly improved in so many ways now, homophobia is virtually gone, misogyny is at least being talked about and racism is decreased by orders of magnitudes. All in all a much better environment but of course reddit still has a long, dusty, hard road yet to go.

      I'm a bit confused. Are racist jokes racist? At what point is it going to be less a question of skin color than intelligence and reactionary bullshit? PC stuff is just... unhealthy. I feel uncomfortable with certain races, but that's not an issue on an individual basis. And I believe all races have problems with one another. I think a worse issue is that of stigmatizing the idea of 'the racist.' Nobody wants to be thought of as one, or perceived as one, though most people are. It just happens. It's time to stop giving power to the entire idea of racism, and acknowledge our psychological reactions - the reptilian brain, so to speak - as Obama himself acknowledged. Only then can we move forwards with respect in a truly human way, having nothing to do with skin color. Until the day we acknowledge the racism of all beings, the action which occurs in the reptilian brain of all humans, we will continue to try and shove the issue into the dark where it does us no good. I want to be able to tell my brothers, "I'm racist, sure, but that has nothing to do with you, and I hope you will see it has nothing to do with me either."

      http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/story/prejudice/ "A recent study by Jennifer A. Richeson, associate professor of psychology and African American studies at Northwestern, and Sophie Trawalter, post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Policy Research, shows that whites will tend to avoid blacks out of fear and anxiety over appearing racist. The rules for political correctness that are supposed to prevent racism are not working; in fact, they’re making things worse."

      [–]TimofeyPnin 0 points1 point ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      I think you're missing the point of his post because of a bad opening line. Everyone stereotypes and prejudges; this is not up for dispute. Stormfront assholes are the ones who say it's natural and it's right, and who justify it with an appeal to the figment of 'race,' and to vaguely ethno-nationalist sentiment. This guy starts clumsily, but argues for no longer giving credence to the notion of 'race,' and for recognizing the prejudice inherent in all human beings while trying to move beyond it.

      Unfortunately, when you start a post with "are racist jokes racist though?" it doesn't have the desired effect...

      [–]zombieshaw 9 points10 points ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      Racist jokes are racist if the person hearing them is offended. You, as a straight white male (I'm assuming), don't get to decide for a minority what they can and cannot be offended by. The fact that you think that all people are naturally racist is actually pretty absurd. I don't know where exactly you got that idea outside of "it made sense in my head" which I think is the source of a lot of the psuedo-evopsych nonsense I see on reddit.

      I don't mean to be a jerk about it, but you need to be a little empathetic and realize that not everyone came from the same background and upbringing as you, and thus you don't have the right to tell them what they should and shouldn't be offended by, especially as a more privileged member of society.

      [–]TimofeyPnin 2 points3 points ago

      The fact that you think that all people are naturally racist is actually pretty absurd.

      My career is professionally fighting racism (I know, pretty fucking sweet), and unfortunately, it's hard science. It boils down to stereotype, prejudice, and behavioral bias...and the first two are hardwired and unconscious. I'm not at my bookshelf right now, but offhand if you want more information I'd recommend Cultural Diversity in Organizations: Theory, Research, and Practice by Taylor Cox Jr., and Whistling Vivaldi, and Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us for some more treatment of the issue.

      That said, you're also right that:

      you need to be a little empathetic and realize that not everyone came from the same background and upbringing as you, and thus you don't have the right to tell them what they should and shouldn't be offended by, especially as a more privileged member of society.

      EDIT: Reading the poster's other responses, I understand why people are getting pissed, but I think he (educated guess on the gender) is starting to explore the idea of race and racism, and is generally on the right track...it takes a while for people to realize their own privilege and how society plays to it, and at least this person is actively thinking about their own stereotypes and prejudices.

      It's funny that the people who get all defensive about racial assumptions go straight to the "You're a privileged white male so you just don't get anything" argument... without knowing anything about the person.

        I agree. We should acknowledge out racism. That's why I support policies like Affirmative Action, which seek to correct things that are subtly manifested in many of us.

        I agree that race relations should be discussed more openly, but I do so idealistically. The majority of people (at least here in the South) have rather nasty opinions about race in America.

        [–]TimofeyPnin 0 points1 point ago

        You're sort of in the right place, but I don't think you're expressing it in a way that most readers will understand.

        Of stereotype, prejudice, and biased behavior, we can only control the last. You're right that everyone stereotypes and everyone prejudges strangers. In part, we legitimize it with the figment of 'race.'

        Unfortunately, with the stormfront fiasco on reddit a while ago, people are missing the content of your post for its tone (well, that and your opening salvo).

          Really Reddit? God fucking damn it, I wonder why I even bother visiting this site sometimes when the racism towards my people is so fucking blatant and shameless. When 4chan is lighter on casual racism than Reddit, it makes you wonder who're really the shitbags of the internet.

          I get it. Every single achievement I've ever made in my life, every victory, every goal reached, every obstacle I've overcome, I was able to do so because of my fucking ethnicity. Not my work ethic, not my drive, nor my skills, but because of my fucking genes. When a White person accomplishes the same thing I've done, he's clearly better than me because he did it through hard work and grit rather than my unfairly gifted racial origins.

          Oh, and clearly, I'm doomed to be alone forever because of my apparently comically minuscule penis that will never please any woman with standards. What self-respecting woman would ever want to date an Asian guy with his severely underwhelming package compared to the supposed length and girth of the mighty Whitey? Oh well, at least those same genes ensured my success in life!

          Oh wait, Asians in general are less likely to reach higher positions in the workplace despite their supposedly superior education.

          I thought I'd gotten past it you know. I rarely have to deal with this shit anymore in college compared to all the racism I had to deal with in high school, but then Reddit just brings it all back. It fucking sucks you know, knowing that on a website I visit and regularly comment on, thousands of people think I'm some sort of sexually inept walking library.

          I think the funniest part are the dumbasses deluding themselves into wondering how having a small penis could possibly be considered an insult. Y'know, ignoring the fact that nearly every bit of modern pop culture obsesses over the importance of sexual prowess attained through the size and girth of our genitalia. Please people, don't kid yourselves. You think I'm inferior because you think my dick is smaller and weaker than your dick. You think that all of my success (earned through hard work by the way) still doesn't mean anything because your penis is bigger. Just admit it, at least that just makes you racist instead of delusional.

          seems to me that in the case of race, even when reddit is trying to be funny, at least they acknowledge that they are being racist. but when someone makes a gay joke, suddenly they deny being homophobic. that pisses me off way more. part of the joke with this post is the knowledge that it is a stereotype.

              flaccid complicity with stereotypes isn't all that funny. reddit users are creative and funny enough to make jokes that subvert stereotypes. do you disagree?

              I do disagree, stereotypes are often hilarious and memes like successful black man are funny in the same way that a tiny elephant is and not because they "subvert" anyone's expectations. In fact they only strengthen the stereotype by making the exceptions seem comical.

              If you're laughing because the exception is comical, you're missing the joke. It's pretty obvious that the successful black man meme is designed to challenge the stereotype and that the humor comes from recognition of your bias. You expect the black guy to be a criminal or a failure, and you're turned on your head.

It was a bit of a cunning way to frame his comment... nice job. I think we can agree with you, but only to a certain extent. We in a sense have fun using these stereotypes, but we do simultaneously mock them, therefore they're not all that bad. Absurdly ingenious I would say, but I would have to there should probably always be an objective scrutiny of the content of these jokes, for there is such a thing as "too far". We wouldn't want reddit to become solely a collection of ever more risque jokes without reason.

                  The one predictor for employment, scholarships, and low poverty in this country is whiteness.

                  Unlike other races, white people don't have to make the most money to have the lowest poverty rates, don't have to have the highest educational attainment to have the lowest unemployment rates, and can have criminal records and still get hired over blacks who are equally qualified but lack such issues.

                  And it's not like this isn't widely known. These are accepted facts in society supported by decades of social research and miles of evidence.

                  The difference between being a smart Asian, a fast black, and a successful white person is that Asian and black stereotypical achievement is blamed on genetic racial essentialism, while white success is blamed on racial discrimination.

                      Korean guy here.

                      There was a rebellious asian meme a week or two ago that I thought was funny and so I defended it on the grounds that it was harmless humor.

                      But I've thought about it. And it seems that either reddit is ramping up the quasi racism, or I'm just noticing it more. Either way, it's pissing me off. Jokes like this ARE racist, get tired fast, and worst of all, aren't clever. OHOHO ASIANS ARE GOOD AT MATH? THEY HAVE SMALL GENITALS? WHAT A GENIUS WORDSMITH YOU ARE TO BE ABLE TO CRAFT SUCH A WITTY JOKE. It's only gotten worse this week with the rise of Jeremy Lin. Yellow mamba indeed.

                        A lot of people on Reddit do not get 2 things:

                        1. Not anything and everything is justified under the guise of joking. If Hitler said "JUST KIDDING!" after everything he did, no one would be laughing, and all would not be forgiven.

                        2. If you say racist things on a constant basis, there is no amount of "JUST KIDDING!"s that will make you not-racist.

                        I like how white people are such experts on Asian dick size. I'm asian, and I've only ever seen 1 asian dick in my life (my own).

                        I'll be honest. The dick size joke offends me a bit. It offended me enough for me to care enough to bust out a ruler and measure my own penis mid-fap session. No cheating in my measurement; i measured from where the penis extends out from the pubic abdominal area (this way i won't subconsciously include my dragging ball sack in the measurement). 5.1 inch. Not long, but not small enough that it warrants a fucking "meme" over.

                        I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that the small penis stereotype gets thrown around every time an asian makes news, or the fact that society is so obsessed with the genitals and openly humiliate a group of people for laughs over things that are utterly unimportant and they can't possibly change.

                        I don't find it funny to clown on flat-chested/flat-assed girls either, more tits/ass = more cancer, cellulite, backpain, sag, and restrictive movement for our lady friends (and I love them as much as the next guy). Wonder why our breast enhancement rates are astounding and male enhancement pills get tens of millions of dollars each year.

                        This is funny because it combines two crude stereotypes about Asians (colloquially, North Asians) : that they are all excellent students, and that they have short penises. The humor arises from using a common descriptor that fits both racial stereotypes.

                        It does annoy me when I spend a solid day in the library on campus cramming and scrape by an A- when a roommate in the same class crams for maybe 4 hours and spends the rest of the time complaining about how tired he is attributes his C+ to not being asian despite "doing everything exactly like [I] did". Most often the problem is that people in general take a glance at a textbook page and think "well that's done with" instead of trying to understand the material on that page.

                        Some people even contribute hard working to ethnicity. It gets you question how free your free will really is.

                        Heh, as an Asian my worst subject at high school was Maths Methods. Didn't study at all for the the final exam and got a D+. It sometimes feels good to subvert the cliches of my race.

                        If you are academically challenged, you should study more instead of consoling yourself that an Asian guy has smaller penis. Otherwise he will be your boss and marry your sister and all you will have are your boner jokes.

                        This reminds me of the old myth that African people have smaller brains. Scientists came out with studies proving it EXCEPT it turned out in the end they forced the data to conform to their beliefs by reducing the measurements for brain cavities of African skulls. Check out Franz Boas if you need proof.
                        Or, perhaps all of you really ought to read The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould. Then come back and see why this is not only not funny, it's stupid, racist and degrading. Excellent display of ignorance! Perhaps we could have some more jokes like this with Asians wearing glasses and being great at math? That should round it out a bit, don't you think? Or maybe some "funny" pictures of Asians who can't play basketball?

                        this is racist. things like this aren't funny to the people it's making fun of. neither is it funny to people who care about the feelings of others.

                        We shouldn't joke about the commonly heard differences of certain races, social groups, nationalities or gender, regardless of being true (which due to generalisation is almost never the case) because they might be OFFENDED!
