I concur with June’s sentiment.

The nature of that “joke” has always been the discomfort created by the implication of a racist sentiment.

I may be in the minority here, but I think some old jokes (and types of jokes) should be allowed to gracefully slip into the past.

I remember it from when I was a punk too. But sensibilities evolve over time, and I find it cringeworthy now.
