I can’t believe that making a joke about a privileged majority is different than making that joke about a persecuted minority. I want to speak to the manager!
Look, in general mean jokes about people aren’t good, but are you all seriously pretending there’s not a difference between these two scenarios?
Because I know you all know there is a difference between punching up and punching down when it comes to joke telling.
Saying “yeah but if you turned it around to the less privlige group it’d be racist/sexist/hompobic/ect” is the exact same thing that affirmative action opponents say “oh if I only gave scholarships to white people its racist.” like, yeah, context matters.
As a final thought?
your comment is literally… “oh my feelings dont matter? Dick.”
Like, your feelings are hurt so youre name calling? Okay?
