Since when was being a whore a matter of race or skin color?

The racist portion of the joke wasn't the reference to prostitution, it
was the need to use the stereotypical accent and slang associated with
African Americans (ebonics) to make a very poor pun.

Litmus test: Could JohnH tell that joke to a class of mixed race
teenagers while subbing at a public school and expect there to be no
reaction? (Beyond the predictable lack of laughter, of course).

See earlier post. JohnH would probably get nasty feedback from parents of *all*
ethnicities for telling an 'off color' (or any other) joke in the classroom.
