Offense is never given, it is always taken. That's essentially how I feel about it. That being said you gotta know your audience, that's the kinda shit that got Kramer in trouble.
Do I find the word "Nigger" funny? Honestly, kind of. I find the word "Kike" a lot more hilarious then it, but neither are probably appropriate to say out loud. That's the thing, like many people have said, jokes and humor are almost entirely subjective, which also ties in to the ideals of those specific people. Someone could easily see me as some super edgy wanker because I think spewing offensive words/phrases is funny in itself, but I might also think them childish for the simple fact that they're getting offended over a group of letters that make a certain sound. I've heard black people make and laugh at black jokes and asian people call themselves "chinks" and "gooks". I'm not even surprised by most of this shit anymore; you meet all types of people.
Some people just like being taken aback by offensive shit, and I think that group of people have grown frankly. Awkward humor has also gotten a bigger following as it went "mainstream" with shit like Tim and Eric and the Eric Andre Show.
The sleeper has awakened.
Only to sleep again.
