I disagree. A racist joke, for instance, isn't just a joke. It's a joke that deliberately 'punches down,' encourages disrespect or worse. Making light of the situation in Afghanistan is pretty much punching down at this point. 'It's just a joke' isn't a defence against anything. I recently got to have a long chat with a guy from Afghanistan whose family is over there and terrified, he has no idea when he will be able to contact them again or when he will be able to send them money to get out of the country. It's heartbreaking.
