I think I first heard it as a Polack joke. I am not into that sort of humor. Now if it had been about wetbacks....

He better start early if he wants to get there while it’s still light out.

All he has to do is learn to drink nothing but seawater and enjoy a steady diet of sushi, and he'll be okay.

I recently found that there are people who swim from the Farallon Islands to the Golden Gate. I can’t imagine many places worse to do that. Bad currents, cold, turbulent, and a breeding ground for Great White sharks.

That's insane without a shark cage. The water around the Farallon Islands is full of Great Whites.
And most Great Whites attack by coming up from below...so no amount of spotters can help.

Swimming in the Farallons is like camping in a lion preserve.
It's like dangling fried chicken or a scantily clad cheerleader in front of Billy Jeff Clinton.
Boom!

I hate ethnic jokes too. It denigrates good people and puts them in an awkward position and many times makes the teller feel superior.
