But in the UK we have 'taking the piss' - it's loaded with irony and in context a blond joke is perfectly acceptable and the underlying message attacks the blond prejudice.
Since we're talking comedy, here's a guy who attacks every prejudice you can think of by telling jokes about niggers ( Jeez - I hate that word ) to white people. His message as I read it is 'racial prejudice? that was years ago and we've moved on'. OK I know that's going to trigger a response because we all know RP is alive and well. But does R Hunter do a good or bad job? Is his portrayal of the harmless black funny guy reinforcing a stereotype? Or is he showing that it's people that have a sense of humour and race is irrelevant.
