A man was sitting on a bench in the park eating his lunch when a beautiful women sat down next to him started reading a book.
The man asked may I ask what you are reading?
She replied that she taught at the university and it was a book about men's anatomy and went on to say do you know that American Indians have the most ridged penis of all races?
The man said no I didn't!
Then she said Amish men have the largest penis of all races did you know that?
The man again said no I didn't?
Well soon she had to go back to class and said it was a pleasure talking to you what is your name?
He replied why its Tonto Yoder...

What nobody in this thread seems to get is that all humor exists in context, and that context is who has the power.
It's why white people making jokes with or about the n-word is almost never funny, but black people making the same jokes can be, because they are making fun of themselves. The white guy is making fun of a disenfranchised group. That's not funny. It's just crass and bullying -- at best.
It's why men making jokes about rape is almost never funny, but the same joke made by a woman could easily be hilarious. Guys have the power, so they make the same joke and it's JUST NOT FUNNY.
Jews make jokes about themselves all the time and it's cool. But gentiles do it and it's often not funny at all because they're making fun of a group that's been maligned throughout history. Not cool at all.
Sure there are some exceptions to this. But in general, people outside a marginalized group making jokes about that group are just not funny and depending on the joke, can be be downright offensive, racist, anti-semitic, misogynist, etc., and deserved to be called on it.

Thing about PC is that while it is obviously way more popular among liberals, it is not mutually exclusive to the Left. Not all liberals are PC and not all conservatives are anti-PC.
