		The other definition does say a joke is something one shouldn’t take seriously, but a group of young journalists at their respective school papers should know better than to bring up an issue as big as race.
		Some might argue that racist jokes may be funny the same way they are offensive, but these student editors went beyond a racist joke, “joking” about rape and mutilation.
		They should leave their “jokes” to the comedians whose audiences are specific target groups of people who find that sort of “racist” humor amusing.

		It is a common rule in wikipedia: when an article grows large, it is split in smaller ones or spins off smaller ones, "mother" article keeping a summary only.
		The only reason I suggested removing "the dozens" from the joke article in the first place was that the dozens is something other than just tossing off one-liners.
		The fact that these jokes are more prevalent in African American communities may be because of their matriarchal family structures where single mothers are often left to raise children.

		As for the joke, it sounds crass, and it obviously upset Adusei, who did not appreciate being cast in a menial role.
