Yes they come in many flavors "Polish" jokes, "Scandinavian" Jokes, "Italian" Jokes, "Irish" jokes, "Jewish" jokes, "Farmer" jokes, "Hillbilly" jokes, "Harvard prep school" jokes, and more.

Typically the intent is to draw attention to a cultural disparity that one culture finds "strange" about another culture and plays on this difference for the sake of humor.

However, the intent is usually not to find humor in the actual "color" of a persons skin, and if you were to study humor, academically, you might be surprised to learn that jokes about "people of color" also make attempts to show humor through ideas about cultural disparity.

It is difficult, from the perspective of today, to understand why there is humor in some of the "jokes" of the past, while other jokes remain timeless. One should always be cautious when attempting to understand the perspective of people from past generations particularly when examining ideas about “humor” or “entertainment” in general.

For example, my daughter is currently researching the film history of Cambodia with emphasis on the films made during what is known as the Khmer Rouge period of Cambodia and the years immediately prior to that period. She is working on completing her Master’s Thesis now and is telling me very many interesting things about what was considered “funny” to the people of Cambodia in this time.

The over-the-top ironic ethnic slurs between spouses tend to be both obscene and hilarious. I know this from experience. XD

There's a big difference when members of a culture make jokes about themselves and when outsiders do it. George Carlin was one of those who explained it best.

I've tried several times to come up with a funny thread locking note that explains how this thread has "impending trainwreck" written all over it and how we have no time or inclination to read a bunch of racist jokes and figure out which ones are or aren't over "the line", so instead I'm just going to lock it and move on.
