One rule for the boys but not for the girls!

Oh, so you are saying you find negative stereotypes about jocks to be funny.

Sort of that whole "I didn't say the racist joke, I just thought it was funny" type of defense.

As far as I am aware the blanket term "jocks" is used to describe those [usually male] individuals who are skilled in team sports. However, such individuals are not all members of one particular racial group. Therefore equating jokes about such individuals does not bear comparison with racist jokes.

In the context of one of his movies, why not?

So, in your view, racism, sexism etc. are perfectly acceptable if it's funny?

In the context of comedy

Hence Richard Pryor made jokes in reference to blacks. Woody Allen [and Mel Brooks] have made jokes in reference to Jews, a group of Sikh, Hindu, and and Muslim comedians did a comedy series in Britain back in the 1990s called Goodness Gracious Me and satirised, mocked and lampooned every aspect of Asian culture [Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh]. Joan Rivers could be scathing about certain behaviours and attitudes of women, as can some female comedians here in Europe whose names you are probably unfamiliar with.

If you remove the right of comedy to satirise, mock, and lampoon you end up in a dull strait-jacketed PC world.

So you're claiming to be an athlete and therefore it is okay for you to mock them.

You have a better chance of convincing me that you're an historian.

And like beauty, comedy is in the eye of the beholder. What one person finds hilarious, another will find offensive.

I am becoming quite concerned for your mental health rogue06.

Yesterday you were having severe difficulties recollecting what replies you had made to posts of mine and now you are suffering the delusion that I have "claimed" that I am an athlete.

It's the cancel culture - the left - that is doing this very thing you bemoan.

Followed the examples you gave. You gave examples of black mocking blacks, jews mocking jews, etc. Given that you think its good to mock jocks, based on your example, you must be an athlete.

Well your logic is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

And you omitted to mention women mocking women .

Your trolling gets old.

And you certainly hate being called out on it.

Just noting what appears to be a mental decline.
