The way I see it, when you tell a joke, someone, something has got to be the butt of it. You could make a dumb dog joke and I could take offense because I am a dog person just as I could make a "retard" joke and you get upset or you could make a dumb Chinaman joke and I take offense at it.
I think a thicker skin is in order. OTOH, if all your jokes are "dumb Chinaman jokes", I might start to take offense. If they are kinda spread out, it is just a joke.
