# No, there wasn't,
but I didn't see anything racist about it either.

Just because the person being made fun of is not white does not make something racist.

Prejudice based on race is racism.

# well, I thought OMG HINDU SOUNDS LIEK NONSENSE TO ENGLISH SPEAKERS was a moderately offensive premise.
also, Punjabi jokes about Gujarati (for example) are racist, aren't they? Ethnic difference isn't about skin colour.

# OMG HINDU SOUNDS LIEK NONSENSE TO ENGLISH SPEAKERS
Does not seem offensive to me, any more than OMG ENGLISH SOUNDS LIKE NONSENSE TO HINDI SPEAKERS would.

A joke which is about a language is not racist if it is just about the sound.

What is brown and runny?
