A classroom is not the same as sitting around a bar with your "homies". A classroom is a formal setting, not a comedy club, and an instructor should try to follow some modicum of respect and courtesy. The OP was not complaining about single joke but a continuous theme. This instructor would be just as offensive if he were attacking political affiliation, race, or sex.Thane wrote:
3) People need to quit tip-toeing around "politically incorrect" subjects. It's not "PC" to crack "black" jokes, yet I have bantered back and forth with black friends in just that manner. It's not "PC" to make "mexican" jokes, but my hispanic friends don't mind them. I've personally dealt with "whitey" jokes for a long time, and have gotten accustomed to them (and even ::gasp:: made a few).
If your homosexual friends were offended, they needed to have said something right then and there. I'd bet the instructor would have ceased his joking along those lines. If he hadn't, y'all were still free to get up and leave any time. Since they didn't object to him, and y'all sat through the class, I'd just forget about the whole deal.
Of course, all us heterosexual white blond Christian males can start suing over all the jokes made at our expense. Or we can just all grow up, and take things in stride. Too many folks today are afraid of saying -anything- for fear of "offending someone." Time to put an end to that nonsense.
