I'm surprised that you of all people would find this thread to be appropriate given that you've spoken out against racist tendencies of Islamicans in the past.
I don't understand why its "comical" or justifiable to make fun of white people. As an American Muslim, I do not appreciate it when my countrymen make stereotypes of me as a Muslim nor do I appreciate it when overseas Muslims make stereotypes of Americans. It only follows that we should treat others that we would expect to be treated. This means that we do not generalize about white people, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, or anyone else.
In terms of the quirky posts, its not directed at a person but consists of inside jokes between close friends. There's no racism involved. Nor was anyone joking about having sex with a goat or a teddy bear or anything like that. Its making fun of the concept of marriage in Muslim cultures. There's no prurient emotion being invoked, if you interpreted it sexually, then thats a matter of your perspective. No one else thought of it that way.
