Now here's a thing, a series of jokes, which 'may' be in a similar vein to David Jason's poor joke.
These are jokes that I have heard a primary school teacher tell a group of kids...are they racist?
...they followed a trading session of jokes along the lines of 'what do you call a man with a spade on his head? Doug' etc etc...until you get to...

What do you call a man with a pig on his head? Hamed
What do you call a man with 2 pigs on his head? Mo-Hamed(spelling for phonetic affect!)
What do you call a man with 2 pigs on his head standing between 2
buildings? Mo-Hamed Ali

Not earth shattering but I had a laugh, but following on from some people's points of view, do you think those jokes should be told?

Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other, "Your round."
The other one says "So are you, you fat bastid!" 😯

They're no more racist than the Doug/Cliff/Bob equivalents

Coming from a Muslim background, I personally have no problem with jokes like that, as there's no reference made to the colour or creed of 'Hamed'; it's just a name, like Doug, as mentioned. I think some Muslim people might find it in poor taste, considering the pork aspect of it.

But then again, I have an Islamic name, and I'm not a Muslim. And neither might Hamed, Mohammed or Rashid be.

I love bacon, me. In fact, I'm about to have some bacon with pasta.

I'm not, actually, I lied. It seems I have run out of bacon, so I shall have to employ anchovies. Now, where's that recipe for that anchovy pasta thing, what's it called...

LOL at Rudeboy's culinary dilemmas...

What do you call a Chinese girl in a crowd? Ming Ling. Crap, yes. Stereotypical type name, yes. But can it be deemed as racist? I'm not sure...

What do you call a lesbian asian?
What do you call a russian man with three testicles?
What do you call a chinese man with three testicles?

I guessing these are now on the banned list so won't be providing the punchline 🙁
