They have some basis in reality, too, which is just humorous. Some things about society are really ridiculous, and some of these things are limited to those who identify with certain sub-cultures. I don't know or care if I'm racist, but I always make distinctions: There are white people and then there are white trash, there are black people and there are niggers and so on and so forth.
Sometimes the shock value of racism is just hilarious though, though, for the most part I got bored of that a long time ago.
but re: shock value
I think one of the funniest things I've ever seen is a beefy guy, obviously a skinhead with white power tattoos all over his head get on a greyhound I was riding in the wee hours of the morning full of black people, I wanted to bust out laughing at all the grunting/staring black people(including some with gangsta clothing and tattoos) as he just waltzes through and finds a seat next to a black guy. Surprisingly nothing happened but a bit of tension in the air. He only stayed for one transfer though. It was funny as hell though because of how ridiculous(also ballsy/stupid) it looked to begin with.
