"Just us": African American humor in multiethnic America -- The new Jewish blackface: ethnic anxiety in contemporary Jewish humor -- "Cracker, please": toward a white ethnic humor -- Imagining diversity: corporate multiculturalism in the children's film and the situation comedy -- Comedy without borders? toward a multiethnic humor -- Conclusion: emerging ethnic humor in multiethnic America.

Such well-known texts as Chappelle's Show, South Park, and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, as well as numerous stand-up comedy acts, children's films, and situation comedies are analyzed to explore how various humorists respond to multiculturalism and the increasing diversity of the American population.
