You're right there. Check out our Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop. I'd be scared to be in the same room with that one, her stare drills holes in steel.

That was an interview panel when she wasn't being guarded and cautious. Here's an official publicity shot:

Must have taken an hour and 300 photos to get that one!

This used to be a mildly offensive Mexican joke. Sadly, it's not really a joke anymore and it fits a lot more people than Mexicans! 😛
How do you starve a Mexican?

Hide his food stamps under his work boots.
Do you know any Puerto Rican jokes?

That's a delightful joke! 🙂

First para medic: "He's not breathing! What are we going to do First?"
Second para medic: "I don't know about you, but I want to try the rollercoaster!!!"

I was trying to deflect into comedy. This is the General Forum, remember? supposed to be a fun place. 😕
an entire ethnic group with a broad brush. Thanks for deflecting the thread.
Let's have a few aborigine jokes. You must know a slew of them.
Funnily enough, I live near a town with a local aboriginal population around 5%, a thriving tourist centre / aged care / cultural museum / complex, no slums or ghettoes and no apparent racial conflict. It's a very long time since I even heard an "abo joke". Racism in Australia is mainly directed at immigrants who "don't look like us" in the time-honoured British tradition.
Anyway, back to the jokes:
Two brothers, both Scots, named Jock and Sandy, go into business together. At the end of the first year they try to balance their account books, but were $9.50 short. They tried again and again, but no matter which way they tried to do it, they always came out $9.50 short.
"Tell me the truth, Sandy," asked Jock, "Are you keeping a woman on the side?"

I've heard that one used for Mexicans. Most of these ethnic jokes the ethnic group is interchangeable.
Kewpie, you and your friend Sumydid are insensitive bigots. The average Mexican, aborigine or "interchangeable"
minority member has more character and integrity and more to offer the world than the two of you put together.
[Insert punchline here]

You're ruining the Obama Re-elected thread by telling off colour jokes!
Probably in a month or so you'll be whining about someone else doing something of the same nature. 😉
