Affirmative Jokes

In today's era of affirmative action and politically correct
speaking, it is no longer acceptable to say "handicapped" or
"disabled." "Challenged" is now the acceptable term.
Such was the case when a morning radio personality (somewhere
around Maryland) recently reported a traffic jam caused by a
"mechanically challenged" vehicle.
The unfortunate thing about using the word "challenged" when
referring to a disabled person is, it won't change the nature of their
disability, nor is it likely to change peoples' feelings toward them.
Instead, as has happened with so many other words, "challenged" will
take on the new meaning. Twenty years from now, when we say that "a
skier was challenged by an expert slope," we will probably mean that
he broke his leg.

Affirmative action shouldn't just benefit blacks. It should help all the groups that have been discriminated against. Like Jews should get into college before Germans, and women should get in before men, gay people before straight, fat before thin. But you can't do that, cause if you did, the only people in college would be fat, black, Jewish, lesbians. And who wants that? I mean there's more to college than just softball!

This is an original composition in response to a debate on affirmative
action in can.politics.
Jan 20, 1989 Edmonton.
In a morning press conference, Minister of Justice Ed Dirk announced
that his ministry will be adopting an affirmative action program.
"Men have traditionally constituted the vast majority of inmates in
Canadian prisons," he explained, "and we can not find any conclusive
genetic or hormonal basis for this." In attempt to correct the imbalance,
the corrections department will be implementing the following programs:
o Early release of some male prisoners.
o A compulsory course for all judges detailing a sentencing policy
that will yield a more gender-balanced prison population.
o An "equality based arrest policy" that basically consists of
arbitrarily arresting women.
It is this third provision which has raised the most controversy.
