Contrast with fortunes, where a seperate "offensive" fortunes package has to be installed if you want it. >Having racist jokes turned on "by default" reflects badly on debian, its developers, and its users. >
Perhaps we should move away from judging the quality of the humour? Surely there's no place for jokes in the software installation? Aside from aspects of professionalism, almost all humour is offensive to someone.
