Oh I am not particular who I tell a joke about, everyone is fair game. It is others that get offended usually. Two flies skating on a bald man’s head. One fly said to the other " what a great skating rink this is" . The other fly replied ," yes it is now but not that long ago it was just a footpath,". You can easily tell when a woman is wearing tights, because when she farts her ankles swell up
I remember a time when all nationalities, ethnicities / cultures were fair game when it came to jokes. It’s actually not pc to tell Irish jokes either or ginger jokes, or blonde jokes, probably laughing will be banned at some point in the near future.

English in the Future
Directors at Daimler Benz and Chrysler have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.
As part of the negotiations, directors at Chrysler conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, “s” will be used instead of the soft “c”. Also, the hard “c” will be replased with “k”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers have one less letter.
There will be growing kompany enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replased by “f”. This will make words like “fotograf” 20 persent shorter.
In the third year, DaimlerKhrysler akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.
DaimlerKhrysler will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “e”'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” by “v”.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary “o” kan be droped from vords kontaining “o”, and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and employes vil find it ezi to kommunikat viz eash ozer.
Ov kors al supliers vil be expekted to us zis for all busines komunikation via DaimlerKhrysler.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

I can understand why but then it’s also a form of censorship. It’s not real because it’s actually ignoring the differences between people cultures race etc. Pretends we are all the same, which people from different groups (by their own volition) then ignore with self-deprecating humour which indicates only some people can make these jokes and others should laugh politely but then see them as the same as everyone else. Interesting study for a psychological thesis on human behaviour. What’s in and what’s out changes as often as people change their underwear.
My son is a qualified psychologist, but if ask him about psychological thesis I would be there for ever more.

So do I Annie but I don’t understand why it is only the Irish that some people still feel it is OK to joke about.
German (we won the war type) jokes are long gone, black jokes are finished, nobody would dare use a Muslim joke, “Paki” jokes the same.
But “thick Mick and Paddy” jokes are still fair game to some.
my kids used to love joke shops and when I took them in, I used to see joke Irish mugs, Irish joke books, wigs and hats yet none for any other race.
Why is that?

A gay Scottish farmer was in his fields on late evening when suddenly a Russian spy plane exploded in mid air but the pilot managed to escape. The pilot landed in his field and the gay Scottish Farmer thought to himself " Red Spy at night farmers delight"

An Englishman Irishman Scotsman and a Frenchman were in a plane when the plane started to stall. So the pilot ordeed everyone off the plane and jump using a parachute. The first to Jump was the Scotishman, as he jumped he could be heard saying long live Scotland
Next was the Irishman turn to jump and he too could be heard to say Ireland for ever
Next was the Englishmans turn so he pushed the Frenchman out saying France will never rule us
