and similarly to Batlord's point, the company I'm with does not dictate my morality. There are some people I may joke more with and what not, but the context of my jokes isn't going to suddenly become racist/sexist I'm in the company of people who aren't offended by that kind of thing.
It's not just about the people who might get offended, it's about the people who might find the joke funny. I wouldn't tell racist or homophobic jokes at Stormfront because the reason they would laugh would piss me off. The reason the people here make and laugh at jokes like that is far different though.
