Bacon Tree

[johny]

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to
death. They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable,
when all of a sudden...

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I is sure of eet".

"Si, Luis, eet smells like bacon to meee".

So, with renewed strength, they struggle off up the next sand dune, and
there, in the distance, is a tree, just loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture, there's fried bacon, back
bacon, double smoked bacon...every imaginable kind of cured pig meat you
can imagine!!

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Eees a bacon tree".

"Luis, are sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the desert, don forget".

"Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell of bacon...ees
no meerage, ees a bacon tree".

And with that...Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres,
Pepe
following closely behind, when all of a sudden, a machine gun opens up,
and Luis is cut down is his tracks.

It is clear he is mortally wounded but, true friend that he is, he
manages to warn Pepe with his dying breath.

"Pepe...go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree" "Luis... Luis
mi amigo...what ees eet?"

"Pepe...ees not a bacon tree....




Ees





Ees"




Wait for it.......




"Ees, a Ham Bush.....!"

so wait i cant tell a asain joke with out the llittle mod people who dont really haeva job and just sit there all day and read every thing that comes there way deleting it but this guy can tella raciest mexican joke?

[Athleng Nordic]

How's it racist?

[GeeniusAtWurk]

By the fact that it plays on racial stereotypes about Mexicans not knowing how to speak properly. The joke relies on people agreeing with their inability to speak proper English. It's the same as any other joke that relies on the accent to make a punchline. It may be comedy, but it is racist. Not racist on the terms of the KKK or Stormfront, but it is. I couldn't care less about it (I laughed, and told my boss the joke), but it is definitely NOT something I'd repeat in my tuesday night Latino Communities class.

[davefly76]

i think you need to get out more. too many people play the race card, i mean it's a joke for christs sake. (oh wait, was that blasphemy?) i really doubt that any latino would find that remotely racist. they may not find it funny but racist? give it rest.

If you say so, I say it's a joke and damn funny.

It could just have easily been two caucasians that grew up in Mexico and developed an accent. It's not racist.
