There is a word for it Schadenfreude: "Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others."

I know that! I told YOU about it in response to your inane post requesting jokes about Islam. Read my post! I said "We joke mostly about ourselves. Jews tell jew jokes. Blacks tell black jokes. Hispanics tell Hispanic jokes. Catholics tell Catholic jokes. My hunch is unless and until there is some Arab comic who tries it, Islam jokes mostly will fall flat... "

You'll need to show me these programs that air the stereotypes of these minorities. Or are those not for mass audience consumption?

Until you show me programs centered around Jews telling "Jews got it all wrong about religion" jokes DURING holy days, then you have not proven your case.

Where are the "Black People" comedy specials that mock the civil rights history during February?

Give up, Dog. They enjoy feeling snubbed and hurt. There's a word for THAT too :) (but can't think of it!)
