At the same time I see things that are offensive I also make jokes that some people would find offensive.
For example check out this thread.

I think both of those jokes are funny, and I don't see them as offensive. I have heard many funny jokes about things like rape, the holocaust, and AIDS, but there is a very fine line. On one hand I don't think humor for the sake of humor is offensive, but on the other hand there are certain jokes that are only funny if you believe certain negative stereotypes. For example a racist joke can be funny if it is making fun of a stereotypical belief, but it is not funny if you have to believe that stereotype to make it funny.
I don't think I am expressing myself very well here. I'll come back when I have thought it out better.
