La_Dolce_Vita Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11...joke-email.html I think this reaction is going too far. I think it is almost certain that BT wanted to get rid of some staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 now i know its racial .. however it amused me .. Finding out that you are a racist merely completes the picture I had of you as a poorly educated, inept, cowardly little man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about PC. I don't think it is sensible sending the e-mail, even if it is crap, but to sack them is outrageous in my opinion. I personally do not think the oppressive impact of this is THAT great, even in comparison to other Irish jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 But isn't any joke poking fun at someone/something? Whether it is blond jokes, irishman jokes, religion, the disabled, countries,?... list goes on.. Find a joke that doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that with Irish jokes the problem is that it relates to oppressive cultural stereotypes. Again, not to say that I think this joke was that bad in that respect but it is still of the same theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
