People should be able to laugh at jokes about different races, says Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood says he is sick of political correctness and believes the world would be a better place if people could laugh at inoffensive jokes about different races once more.
In an interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine, the 78-year-old said people now lived in constant fear of being accused of verbally treading on people’s toes, adding: ‘ The people have lost their humour.’
Mr Eastwood, who plays a racist character in his new film, claims that political correctness has gone too far.

He said; ‘We, in former times, constantly made jokes about different races.
‘You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist.
‘I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a “Sam the Jew” or “José the Mexican” - but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought.
‘It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem.

"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."
