Making fun of accents

Are group identities your only gigs? There is more to a person's worth than the degree to which they are a victim.

I was watching some standup comedy tonight and it got me to thinking. What accents is it ok to make fun of and why?

I knows that French accents are a go. Chinese accents are a no-go. Are Mexican accents bad but Spanish (from Spain) accents ok? What about Northern accents vs Southern accents?

Just a wonderin’.

It's not always just about being funny. I know many women who would swoon at a James Bond style British accent, or men who would melt to a woman's French or Russian accent. Very exotic and mysterious!

We are talking about comedy. If you're offended by comedy and you take it seriously you can't take a joke and you have no sense of humor that's not a stereotype that's a fact.
