Feeling Sick?

Hung Chow calls into work and says,
" Hey, I no come work today, I really sick. I got headache,
stomach ache and leg hurt. I no come work."
The boss says, "I really need you today. When I feel like this,
I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex.
That makes everything better and I go to work.
You should try that."
Two hours later Hung Chow calls again.
"I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon........................
You got nice house.

    I'm sure you didn't intend this, but the joke portrays Asian people as stupid. Why does the guy have to have an accent if it isn't about ethnicity/country of origin? I don't mean for this to sound like an attack on you or to start a controversy. I just feel that we can all benefit from thinking about how jokes we tell can sound to others. :flowerforyou:

    how's this?...

    Harry Smith calls into work and says,
    " Hello, I cannot come into work today, I am really sick. I have a headache,
    stomach ache and my legs hurt. I can't come into work."
    The boss says, "I really need you today. When I feel like this,
    I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex.
    That makes everything better and I go to work.
    You should try that."

    "I did what you say and I feel great. I'll be at work soon........................
    By the way, You have a nice house.

    That's how a lot of Asian people talk. It doesn't make them stupid, it just makes them sound stupid... Learn Engrish

    OK< I can't resist putting in my two cents worth.....I have lived almost full-time in the country of Panama for the last 7 + years. I spoke virtually no Spanish when I arrived, but worked very hard to learn what I could. Since I was in my late 50's when I started, I still am not and never will be "fluent" but everyone can understand what I am saying and I am very proud of my progress. The difference between the people there and us Americans is that they are much more gracious and happy for anyone's efforts to learn to speak their language. It is a difficult process for anyone, and I will NEVER again use the term "broken English" because someone cannot master all of the verb tenses, etc. I understand how hard they worked to be able to communicate in another language! I choose to affirm them and congratulate them rather than ridicule them or respond negatively.

    When one learns a foreign language, he must first accept the FACT that he will sound stupid, probably for a very long time. If you don't do this, you will never speak and thus never learn.

    I agree the "accent" in the joke only served to subtly make fun of Asian people.
