See but that's you responding to narrative programming. All the jokes are funny until its against a black person. Everyone in America is gun shy of black racist jokes because it has been screamed from the rooftops for decades that this isn't okay. But it is essential for a healthy society for comedy to have no boundaries.
Racial jokes are one of the best ways to bridge the gap between races.
If everyone comes at it in a friendly spirit we all get to see into a mirror we hold up to each other, both expressing and acknowledging the differences between us, the things that make us seem alien to one another. and, at the same time, we can see the things that make us the same.

Also it's fucking funny.
I used to tell one to classes full of soldiers and always got the most interesting reactions.
"Hey, do you guys know what you call a black man flying an airplane?"
"A pilot you fucking racist."
Every race imaginable went from blood red pissed to laughing their asses off.
