No, you don't. As I mentioned above every country/locality/nationality has another country/locality/nationality that it uses as the butt of "stupid people" jokes. Brits tend to use the Irish, AFAIK canadians use people from newfoundland, AFAIK Australians use Tasmanians etc etc etc ad infinitum. Most of these jokes could have sarder replaced with irishman and would work just as well. For that matter they are mostly the same as "blonde" jokes in the western world. Seriously, India didn't invent this type of joke. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Your jokes are pretty old and most certainly didn't start in India. Beyond that, your ability to communicate to a mostly English speaking membership sucks. Nobody here wants to read IM text-speak messages - you're sitting at a computer, so take the freakin' time to type complete words and format the text so it's easily readable. So, my advice is that you re-align your dot and try again.

I'm not complaining about the prejudice in the jokes. I do Irish, Aussie and Saffa jokes all day. What I am complaining about is that your poorly written jokes ridicule the Sardar for having poor English skills. It is hypocrisy. Ugh. BTW are the Sardars you speak of the same as the Sadars of Iraq?

I think the word you're looking for here is 'irony'

I think its slang for Sikhs, their stereotype is as big and dumb with nagging wives.

Before condemning Jey so much, are these jokes any worse (morally speaking) than the countless Texan, Irish, religious, or other jokes that do the rounds here and elsewhere? Not te mention the sexist ones... Most humour, if you look at it, relies on taking the piss out of someone, or some group.... ...stones and glass houses, and all.... ..if we're not careful, we'll be calling for the death penalty on anyone who dares print cartoons of the Prophet... Jey: a word of advice - re-write your jokes to be about the French - *no-one* minds that :laugh: Fred
Thank you

What, annoying the French? It's a great British national pastime - we'll claim our native traditional rights if anyone tries to stop us! We play cricket, we like warm beer, and we never miss an opportuniuty to piss the French off... we've been doing it for centuries - hey, since before the USA was even a twinkle in Columbus' telescope.... :-D

Sardars *are* Indians and the best Sardar jokes are told by Sardars.
Cheers, Vıkram.
After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.
