It depends on the delivery, I think. If I have any doubts as to the prejudices of the teller, I'm uncomfortable.

In my circle of friends, whom I know to be non-racist, non-sexist, non-homophobic, all-around good people, some horrible jokes have us all laughing hysterically

Check the timestamp. This was partly inspired by that post, with a little help from the earlier post in which I met snowcoma. And several other incidents that are too numerous and headdesk-worthy to mention.
