And if you said what you said about most other countries, you'd probably get modded flamebait. Double standards are lame.

I honestly don't know if I find the joke funny or offensive, but I do think that the same standard should be applied to all jokes in that vein. Then again, double standards for what people say are a problem of society in general, not just slashdot moderation.
