Yeahhh but when the race you're making fun of isn't threatened, doesn't face any meaningful discrimination, and pretty much runs the world, I think it's safe to make fun of us.
Either race-tinged observational jokes can be funny if good spirited (I subscribe to this view) or they should be considered poor taste 100% of the time. (That's fine too)
But this self-flogging "lol but it's ok to be racist against people that look like me because the stereotype is some bad people also look like me, so I totally deserve it based on my ancestry, right guys?" Schtick isn't good for anybody.
(Unless you literally don't face any injustice on your way to running the world, then I totally misunderstood lol.)
But the idea that you should denigrate yourself to appease others' misguided hatred of your racial "impurity" is...the exact concept we want to eradicate isn't it?
Indeed, you have shown all of us that blocking you is both ez and wise.
