[Humour] Is this joke offensive?

Perhaps I shouldn't mention the elderly field owners name....................McDonald.

I'm a Kenyan 110m hurdler and I find this offensive.
After a while of fairly reasonable discourse over an ostensibly silly post, it's almost comforting to see the children having a play.

Rule of thumb, if a joke needs to mention a person's nationality, race, gender etc then yeah, it's probably offensive. It's not rocket science.

Why did the scarecrow win an award?
Because he was outstanding in his field.
Anyone offended
Actually I’m further offended on behalf of the ‘Traveling Community’, how are they ever going to win an award outstanding in other peoples field?

Edited for you, I hope that Steve Ovett fans are offended…

This is what happens when the Bear Pit becomes largely obsolete and Chicken Run has an eight hour lunch break.

You'll get over it quickly.
Judging by the posts comparing the OP’s quoted joke to other jokes about animals or inanimate objects, it clearly is like ‘rocket science’ to some of our more straight forward contributors.

The answer is there six hours and six pages ago, but I guess certain people gotta keep doing what certain people keep doing

We have to combat such ridiculousness for the survival of the human race
Whereas others strive to move forwards and away from such laziness - or become 'woke', as I believe it's currently termed.

Of course it's funny. I laughed.

People do that shit all the time though. Think of football. Two teams playing, one with a very big white player up front (we'll call him Wout Weghorst) and one with a very big black player up front (we'll call him Adebayo Akinfenwa). In the stands there will inevitably be people who refer to Weghorst as the big lad up front and Akinfenwa as the big black lad up front. Why? It's totally unnecessary. It's not some kind of woke yoghurt knitting to point out this disparity, you literally get small, almost insignificant, casual racism in the stands of this sort all the time. Is it enough to get the game called off and people thrown in jail? No, of course not, that would be ridiculous. It's just enough to put off a BAME fan at their first game from returning, or a copper overhearing it, stopping and searching an innocent black youngster because they were on the large side and wearing a hoody.
The "joke" isn't offensive, per se. Nor is it particularly funny. It is, to quote Pink Floyd, just another brick in the wall.

I don’t know either……but I was told that joke a few years ago by a female who thought it was hilarious and she couldn’t stop laughing.
