      Oh, calm down. Racism isn’t in the text, it’s in the intent. Telling jokes about race doesn’t make you racist.
      My Native American, Asian, and black friends all tease each other (and me) about race, and no one gets offended. Stereotypes exist for a reason, and they can be pretty funny.
      life’s too short to get offended over everything you can, lighten up.

        A based comment about not being so far up your own arse with oversensitivity that you can still smell reality, and enjoy life? Whaaaat

        Fr though there’s a reason people are hypersensitive and decide to police others - there are a lot of unapologetically bigoted dudes out there and their volume has kind of freaked people out.

        Essentially, cis-het white exclusionary folk (usually men) cause rifts between the majority, calls them the minority, and the rest of the palefaces tend to overcompensate apologising for their jerk acquaintance.

        But when you actually ask the opinion of someone who has lived experience, usually they’re cool with stereotypes and identity-based jokes that don’t come from a place of hatred.
