An equally-offending joke

Courtesy of my friend Rob from Holland, this:
How Moses really got the Ten Commandments

One day God went to the Arabs and said: 'I have some Commandments for you that will make your lives better.'
The Arabs asked, 'What are Commandments?'
And the Lord said: 'They are rules for living.'
'Can you give us an example?'
The Lord said: 'Thou shalt not kill.'
'Not kill? We're not interested.'

So He went to the blacks and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
The blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said: 'Honor thy Father and Mother.'
'Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested.'

Then He went to the Mexicans and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said: 'Thou shalt not steal.'
'Not steal? We're not interested.'

Then He went to the French and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
The French, too, wanted an example and the Lord said: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.'
'Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'

Finally, He went to the Jews and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
'Commandments? How much are they?'
'They're free.'
'We'll take ten.'

There, that should offend just about everybody.
Rico says that Rob's right, that's just about everybody. Though there's probably a Russian and a Chinese stanza, if Rico can think of them...
