Feeling that the ratio of Black jokes to White jokes was too lopsided, Congress passed new legislation today to fix that problem. If one intends to tell more than one racist joke in any public area, regardless of their own race, must tell precisely 77.1% White jokes, 12.9% Black jokes, 4.2% Asian jokes, and Native and/or Pacific Islander 0.3%. The remaining 4% ...were vaguely defined as ‘Other’, where the jokes contain insults about more than one race. For example, if ten men walk into a bar, one of them must be Asian, three of them must be Black, and the remainder must be White (hopefully one of those Whites being part Maori).
Several dissenting congressmen believe that the government should not interfere in the process of wisecracking. “Let the free market decide which race should be insulted” said one congressman present for the voting. “Getting involved in this will just deprive our comedians of well deserved money earned from the degradation of minorities”.
On the other side of the isle, congressmen believed that this was a critical step forward towards broad civil rights. “If we can’t convince the most irreverent sector of our population [comedians] to stop discrimination, then how can we expect the rest of America to follow?”
