Im Native American. So, according to BET, it's ok for me to make jokes
full of racist stereotypes about Native Americans?

I think not.

Is it ok if I make jokes about white people because my wife is white?

Again, I think not.

Universally, racial jokes are never ok. Not innocent little
nudge-nudge wink-wink jokes or full blown racist hate mongering.

It's never ok and those that make those jokes, for whatever reason,
should not be let off the hook.
