"Modern society lives in a state of fear over the possibility of being labeled racist for telling jokes based on ethnicity or nationality".

Actor Clint Eastwood
Actor Clint Eastwood said:
"People have lost their sense of humor.
"In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist.
"I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a 'Sam the Jew' or 'Jose the Mexican' -- but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem.
"I don't want to be politically correct. We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything."
Comment by Boris Tiraspolsky with his poem of "useful Arts"*:
"It is alright to be unpleasant
"
When no intelligence is present
When judgments don’t make any sense,
It is alright to be unpleasant
And call that lack of Common Sense!
Don’t compromise on Principles, and act
For being hailed as “politically correct“!
When no ability is present,
When Science is a false pretence,
It is alright to be unpleasant
And call that lack of Common Sense!
Don’t compromise on Principles, and act
For being hailed as “politically correct“!
When a spark of talent is not present,
When Arts are useless with no sense,
It is alright to be unpleasant
And call that lack of Common Sense!
Don’t compromise on Principles, and act
For being hailed as “politically correct“!
When sense of humor is not present,
When telling jokes is taking a chance,
It is alright to be unpleasant
And call it lack of Common Sense!
Don’t compromise on Principles, and act
For being hailed as “politically correct“!

The following story is attributed to the great Benjamin Franklin. When asked about “useful Arts” he replied with his usual wit and wisdom that Fifers and Drummers playing on parade are “Entertainment” and “Entertainers“. However, the very same Fifers and Drummers playing the very same music on a battlefield are “useful Art” and Warriors.
