I wonder if there would be any jokes left in a 100% PC world.


Not sure but it is a fine line to walk on and it's not easy to distinguish where that line is drawn. Most of the things that are considered racist here in Canada seem mild in Asia. Some things in Asia considered racist aren't as bad here. It's difficult since everyone's sensitivity levels are different from one another. Having some sense of who our audience is will help.


I don't know many jokes. What I meant is, I wonder if jokes are usually based on going against some sensitivity.


There will still be puns... but probably not much else.
