Maybe you think speaking up is baaaaaad?
If they are offended, they can ask the person not to make those comments or jokes around them.
If that person then harasses them by intentionally going out of their way to make those remarks to this individual, the harasser should be fired on the spot.
It's really not that hard; if someone at work says something you don't like, ignore it.
It should be noted that asking the speaker to "not to make those comments or jokes around them" is not "ignoring it", which means that you're actually advising two contradictory responses.

Great. So how are you going to fire the harassers and defend that in an unemployment court if the company doesn't itself have rules against that harassment?
