Is this just humor or racism?

Just joking on things that are part of being a certain ethnic group is not racist . We all have different ways and things we do that are part of our racial heritage and make for some good jokes .

It is poking fun at Asian names that to other cultures just sound funny .

My question is does this go over the line or is it just plain old humor ?

Do you think some Asians are laughing about it since they of course have a sense of humor ?

Do you think it is racist ?

Do you think it is just in bad taste ?

    In Comedy Writing Secrets, they say that ethnic jokes are funny. After testing this hypothesis on as many people as I could with racist humor (generally asking the demographic most likely to be offended), I concluded that it's not funny. Some people will laugh just because they like you, not because they like your jokes.
