Cruel or malicious jokes are reflective more of the person making them than the target of their jest.

I think gay jokes are ok as much as jokes about black people, as long as they're funny, I wouldn't mind an atheist joke too if it was amusing.

I like jokes that are funny. I like dark humor. I think context is important. Like if it's a joke thread then you know people are joking and it's funny. Or if it's a comedy show then yea. If it's a funeral maybe not, but I'd still have a hard time not finding it amusing if the joke is legitimately funny. My sister says "that's so gay" when she thinks something is stupid or lame all the time, she's a lesbian, I'm pretty sure she's not offended by it.

Jokes are jokes. It's the context you have to pay attention to. And even then there's no telling what a joke means to each individual person. Sure, some people may take them as cruel or insensitive, but others need them to get by. It's common for people use comedy as a coping mechanism. If you don't want to hear it or don't need to hear it, it's as simple as not paying a comedian large amounts of money to attend a show. Or logging off.

If that bumper sticker gets made can I suggest losing the backslash?

Don't put dicks in your mouthbutt.

Jewish people telling Jewish jokes is fine, there were plenty of Jews at the school I went to and the jokes were OK. Gay people telling gay jokes, black people calling each other the 'n' word, that's all OK. It's when others do it with malicious intent or even without thinking that it becomes insulting. The best thing would be to stay away from it.
