Do you think it's racist to make jokes about a black guy's penis?

Just asking it because I've had a couple of my girl friends make stupid stereotypical jokes to me about the size of my boyfriend's penis, how lucky I am in bed and things like that. But I of course know them and I'd definitely say they're not racist or anything like that. What do you think?

  • Whether making jokes about Black penis is racist depends on the jokes. Racism refers to negative prejudice towards people based on their race, which could be expressed in the form of believing that certain races are inferior, discrimination, violence, hatred, and intolerance. If your friends are saying that "you're lucky" for being with a Black guy because of his penis, most likely, they believe that Black men have bigger penises than other races on average, which is a positive generalizations. Positive generalizations are not racist by definition. In my opinion and based on my own experiences and studies I've read, Black men do seem to have bigger penises on average, but that doesn't mean that every Black person has a big one. Even though your friends might not be guilty of racism, they are still guilty of stereotyping because they're implying that a big penis applies to all or most Black guys. While positive stereotyping is not hatred, it could lead to some serious disappointment should they ever date a Black guy and discover that he has a small penis.

  • So many of my old friends would make these jokes about me and the guys I was sleeping with. They certainly had no reason to be jealous or envious because I would have easily fixed them up with some and they could have the real experience.

    • That's so true. If they really think we're so lucky they should go and get themselves a black guy too. Everyone wins.

  • They're just envious. Are the myths true?

    • Kinda.

  • Its just a stereotype, a good one at that i suppose

  • I would say any time people want to talk about their assumptions in regards to race it is a tiny bit racist. It is not necissarily harmful, but if you adhere to the idea that some subset of people can get mad about pretty much anything, it invites anger over a racial trait that may not be true. Of course, if it is true and people get mad, that's just their problem with reality. But there will never be an impartial study on penis size by race to prove one way or the other.

  • Racism is a weird, weird thing. Most of us make ethnic and racist jokes among friends and family. I certainly have. My favorite joke was by a Mexican woman who told me I was the nicest "Black" guy who never raped her.

    We are the very best of friends.

    But racists don't like telling jokes to their friends and family. They want to tell the joke to folks who don't know them from last Tuesday. And then they want to try to avoid any consequences for doing something so stupid.

    We all know these jokes are based upon the racist stereotype created by eugenicists like Dr. Phillippe Rushton. Those guys are the ones who made the claim "Black" men have the biggest penises. And claimed it was because "Black" people have the highest sex drive.

    Racism sucks balls.

  • it's pretty complicated with jokes. It's not about the content most of the time but ho it's used. Jokes nowadays can be used for laughter and fun but also for degrading and humilliating others. So it very much depends on the usage.

  • Um jokes are meant to be offensive words aren't bad context is what can make them bad so no racism isn't that common you're sadly being lied to racism is out there obviously but it's really more rare than you're being told

  • The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. Yes it's the literally the definition lmao.

  • I think they are trying to get some Confirmation from you that Yes it is big or Nah he is normal size

  • The thing is it is statistically proven that black men have larger dicks so it’s not really racist it’s just facts. I wouldn’t tease a guy about iit though because a lot of black gents have tiny wangs and the joke could make him insecure

  • Young people make comment like that, if someones boyfriend is rich (like rich rich), they will make jokes and comments on that too.. thats just normal if you know them.. and if they mean well.

  • No, but it's pretty silly TBH.. First they assert that the size of a dudes penis is valuable to the woman's experience, and then they assume that the stereotype of big penis beast men "Black" guys.. But no I wouldn't assume they are racist because they joke about the stereotypes

  • Camilia. Words mean things. Racism is when a representative of one group, White Anglos for example, believe their group is inherently superior to another group, Blacks, for example, such as to be entitled to control and even own representatives of that group,. American slavery was inherently racist. Stereotyping is not inherently racist. It can be bigoted; forming a negative opinion of some group and then judging them by your opinion, or it can even be complimentary, such as Asians are good at math.

  • It’s not racist. It’s intended to be flattering to your boyfriend and a little envious of you. My ex is black and he had no problem with white girls thinking his penis was big.

    • I told my boyfriend about it and he's okay with it too.

    • Awesome 😊

  • 15? Ask your mommy. Maybe she'll file statutory rape charges.

    • the guy could be just her age

    • @startingfitness - And why we loathe children on this forum.

  • If it's because he's black and nothing else, technically, yes. Even positive stereotypes are, technically, racist.

  • When is the last time you heard a joke that didn't make fun of someone or something. A joke by it's very nature is irreverent. I don't have much of a filter when it comes to jokes. But i never want to upset anyone. So if i upset someone with my comment. I'm very selective of what i say to them in the future.

  • I do not think it is racist, given the context of what they said. Though judging people based on something you believe is unique to their race, is considered racist.

    With that being said, I do not believe black men have bigger penises in general. Though it can be true, but only someone with a lot of sexual experience with men of different races can confirm that.

    • Everything is racist isn't it. Because it is clear that you're not sure.
  • well, ask him how he feels.

    i think its bizarre that you would let your girlfriends talk that way about your man. i suppose its okay with women.
    My male friends would never say anything sexual about my girlfriend and i wouldn't do that to them either. that's a no-no among men.
    Men only talk that way about girls they hook up with, not their partners.

  • i don't think racist standards apply when you're talking about your own sexual preferences
