I rather liked app's joke there and thought it was cute.
I also grew up with a lot of religious and racist humour that was simply hilarious. Anyone else ever watch The Dave Allen show?
That was great stuff!
So, cheers for Dave Allen!

But racist humour isn't all *

God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.

We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
Barry McCaffrey
When I get a very generous introduction like that I explain that I'm emotionally moved, but on the other hand I'm Irish and the Irish are very emotionally moved. My mother is Irish and she cries during beer commercials.
Irish Quote
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to Heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven.
Irish Proverb
Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord and it makes you miss him.

Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.
Happy Hour in NewfoundlandA Newfie saw a sign at a restaurant.
It read...
Happy Hour Special:
Lobster Tail & Beer.
"Lard Tunderin Jaises!" he says to himself, "Me tree favourite things!"
One WishA young, Newfoundlander man was walking around a field in Newfoundland, when he came across an old well. He walked up to the well, just to get a look. He noticed an old looking bottle in the well bucket. He picked it up. And suddenly a genie appeared before him.
The genie said, "For freeing me, I will grant you one wish."
The young man said, "Ok. I wish that there was a bridge going from Newfoundland to the mainland, you know, like the P.E.I. one."
The genie said,"I am sorry, but I can't do that. That would be TOO much change. That would be ALMOST impossible. It would change too many peoples lives."
So the young man thought for a second, then said, "Ok, then. I am a proud Newfoundlander, and I am sick and tired of everyone making fun of Newfoundlanders. SO I wish that Newfound landers were as smart, or even smarter than ANYONE else in the world. Or at least smarter than any other Canadian."
The genie said, "So, do you want two lanes, or four?"
I had a non-stop supply of Newfie jokes when I was a kid because I had a lot of Newfie friends.
My favourite Newfie joke has to be done in person, and really requires the proper situation, which of course involves snow...

In Canada there are two seasons: six months of winter and six months of poor snowmobiling.
I had a chance to meet the Canadian military. What a nice guy.
It's not about race, or sex, or religion -- it's about the attitudes towards them. Often this says more about the listener than the speaker, which may or may not be simply a thin skin or desire to feel victimised in order to feel special. Often it's about the speaker and malicious or hateful intent behind the joke, which isn't funny.

"Racist" humour (etc.) can be a source of fun and enjoyment if it comes from the right place. (Or, some people just need a chill pill.)
