Is it normal to tell offensive jokes?

My friends and I all crack racist/sexist/otherwise offensive jokes.

The jokes we make do not, in general, offend anyone who we are making the joke to. If they do, the offender always apologizes and ceases making that genre of joke around that person.

We don't go around saying this stuff in public(twitter, etc.), because it would inevitably be taken out of joking context/someone would find it offensive, and that would end up badly.

I don't believe in the sentiment of any of the jokes I make. I truly think that my friends don't either. It's just the type of humor we choose to use.

For instance, I'm German; my Great-Grandfather died fighting Russians in WWII. I make Nazi jokes. I'm good friends with a Jewish guy I met online.

Is it okay to make a joke about black culture(not low-hanging fruit like "haha chicken watermelon grape soda," but a witty joke within the context) when I'm white and the recipient is Columbian? What about white and white? White and black?

Personally, I'm not offended by racist jokes against white people. We can't dance? I sure can't. If the joke is witty, I'll laugh. If the joke is forced or if it's "white people bad haha laugh now please" I simply don't find it funny.

Is it normal/okay to tell racist/sexist/offensive jokes to those that find it funny?

    Fine by me. You seen chill to be around. I have strong morals but I joke about and make fun of everything, including my beliefs and even myself. I dont like to take any one thing seriously 24/7. If you saw me with my best friend you'd be shocked at how offensive I was. At the same time I try not to offend others, and am polite in public. Can be a thin line to walk on

    How can you tell if your wife is dead? The sex is the same but the dishes start piling up.

    Want to know a secret? Twitter isn't the real world. Most people in the real world know you're joking when you make offensive jokes. Took me a while to realize that Twitter is like some weird cut off section of reality that accounts for such a small minority but is assumed to be the largest.

      Yet how they squeal from the rooftops or how they assemble their 50 cent army to try to review bomb peoples businesses because of what the employee said or acted.

    I LOVE offensive jokes and pranks. My favorites are jokes and pranks I can relate to or are on me.

    People just get buthurt! If it's funny it's funny. I am genuinely tired of people's intolerance to humour because of it being politically correct. That said if it's deliberately offensive it's not appropriate
