Check For Racist Exempt Status Before You Speak

Here we see a picture of a Middle Eastern man riding a camel. I think it's fair to say we've heard plenty of jokes that could be related to this photo, but to make my point more effective, I'll bestow upon you, an example of one of these jokes (of the cruder sort). I wasn't about to spend an eternity finding a joke, since most of my searches turned up long story-type jokes, so I'll make one up on the fly: What's the difference between a camel and his middle eastern owner? The camel can't ride the owner, it has to take it from behind.
Now just to let everyone know, I am Arabic (my last name is Al-Hakim). Even though I'm only partly Arabic, aside from my big ass nose and catipillar eyebrows I don't look arabic, I don't speak Arabic, and I don't partake in much of the Arab culture, but if I stated that joke here, in good ol' US of A, where "politically correct" is expected, I would be exempt from the label known as racist. Now if a non-Arab stated that joke, he would be slapped with a racist ticket by the "PC" police. Why is it that a non-Arab can't get away with that joke, but an Arab would walk away with nothing, aside from maybe a few laughs (and as a reminder, you're not a racist if you laugh since an Arab said it)? I bet when most of you glanced over my comment about my facial features, where I basically implied all arabs have a "big ass nose and catipillar eyebrows," you didn't think of me as racist, you might have even laughed, since I'm Arabic. This is a problem.
I'm not writing to protest jokes made about ethnicities, because that would make me a hypocrite, but I am writing to protest the "PC" world and its belief of what makes you a racist. Unless its blatanly prejudice, I don't mind racial jokes. In fact, as weird as it sounds, I believe racial jokes can promote equality, as long as every ethnicity gets their turn at the ass end.
Now to my material artifact, which is pretty lame. I couldn't think of anything good to use, so I grabbed a W-2 form I got in the mail recently. Based on certain aspects of yourself which relate to you financially, you can receive exemption from certain taxes. Now just view the W-2 form as the "politically correct" world. Based on certain aspects of yourself, namely your ethnicity, you can receive exemptions from being racist to certain ethnicities.
I need sleep. I guess that's what I get for waiting till the last minute.
