I actually am not talking about jokes at all. I don't think jokes hurt anyone, and "sticks and stones" should be people's watchword. I love a good gay/racist joke. We tell them all the time and pretty much every weekend sing a song about rape/pedophilia/necrophilia/racism (against every group)/sexuality and religion. Nobody cares about that. Anyone who gets offended by a joke is overly sensitive.
When people give a serious opinion about their belief that any group should be marginalized, they should take some level of responsibility when "fringes" then take that marginalization one step further. Yes, its the idiot in the fringe who is ultimately responsible (responsibility isn't a zero sum game), but odds are they wouldn't assume their actions would be accepted or simply overlooked unless they were influenced by people around them.
