My wife of 25 years is a Filipina, and I am American. For 25 years we've gotten some good laughs at making fun of each other's cultures. Her personal favorite is "Americans and cheeseburgers"

I'm just curious, how do you good people feel about cultural humor? I personally think if you can't laugh at yourself you need to lighten up a bit. And there are a lot of reasons for us Yanks to laugh at ourselves!

It is my personal opinion that too many people are way too sensitive about way too many things these days. I think we have become too preoccupied with ourselves and have become too whiny about the tiniest of slights. I think we need to grow up. We need to learn to laugh at ourselves and to let others laugh at us. I think we should stop expecting others to shield us from all of the potentially upsetting things that people might say about us. I think we need grow thicker skins and be advlts and not take offense at words. That is my opinion.
