Just for completeness, I'll put less-funny jokes here.

  • A Buddhist pulls out a gun. "Whoa", the vendor exclaims, "I thought you guys were about inner peace!" The Buddhist replies: "This is my inner piece."
  • Q: Why don't blind people skydive? A: Because it scares the hell out of their dogs.
    • It's too easy to read this as making fun of blind people, even if it doesn't really.
  • Q: Why were the Native Americans here first? A: They had reservations.
    • Despite no obvious ill intent, this one has at least a couple of problems:
      • Normalizes the idea of Native Americans being on "reservations" and kind of others them.
      • Implies that the "reservations" predate colonization, which is untrue.

Funny, but still problematic:

  • A blind man walks into a bar... and a table... and a chair...
    • This one is actually still kind of funny, even though it is overtly making fun of the handicapped, and I'm not sure why. I think it's partly because it's really more of a joke on the "walks into a bar" joke-template than about laughing at the blind man.
