My Dogs...
-
My Dogs This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare. At first the lady said, "dogs are not eligible to draw welfare." I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no clue who their Daddy's are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care. She looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My dogs get their first checks this Friday. Dang, this sure is a great country.

I can't move it, and I wouldn't as I don't think anything is wrong with the joke. But I see some prejudiced perps downvoted to have the message removed.

I didn't read the OP, but perhaps you meant "prejudice".

The part where you implied the dogs were mixed race (or different colours) and/or couldn't speak English?

Implied? The joke directly said that and dogs are of mixed race (breed) generally.

here's a nice prominent example: http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/virginia-gop-chair-sends-racist-welfare-black-dog-email/[^] yes, his dog was black. your dogs were "mixed". there are plenty of examples on the net where the 'mixed' implies racially impure. also, the "lazy", "doesn't speak English", "doesn't know who his daddy is", etc. stuff is boilerplate racist garbage.

you can say that however much you want. it still won't mean anything.

*You* are the one that read race into it. I didn't put it there. It's not the way I read it nor understood it. Maybe that makes me a simpleton, but that's the way my mind works. I don't read race into everything I see or read.

it's impossible not to read race into it. the thing is full of racial stereotypes, and it has a long history of use as a racist joke. if that wasn't your intent, fine. i'll take your word for it. but maybe reading a little closer next time would be prudent.
