Racist jokes can be funny if crafted in an original fashion, have a healthy amount of truth to them or are just... well... funny. Yeah, that's vague, but if something makes me laugh, then I laugh. If it's not funny, I'll generally not laugh, but just kinda nod depending on how severe the joke was.
Generally though they're very forced and I feel like people are just trying to release their true feelings towards a group through form of a joke because it's socially acceptable and people will typically just think "ha ha what a joker he should do stand up" and not stop to think "damn dude you've been making fun of that Asian man playing his DS on the bus for an hour now, why not make fun of your own kind for a change?" And if they never do or are offended when someone makes fun of their cracka ass, then that's a telltale sign of intolerance, prejudice or racial pride (which is awful).
