That said, the things I rarely find funny but always find offensive:
Racist humor
Rape humor
Death/illness humor (specific individuals)
Of course, there are exceptions (except maybe to the rape humor) but in general these topics just shouldn't be joked about.
One caveat about all of these: self humor. Minorities get to tell jokes on themselves. Rape victims get to indulge in black humor about rate. People dying or ill get to tell jokes about it.
Completely agreed. A couple of black guys at work and I are constantly mocking stereotypes with each other.
