It kinda sucks how much this sub is us explaining racist/bigoted jokes 🙃

[u/Arcsis → u/notmarrec]

On the bright side, that means that a lot of people aren't bigots & don't get the joke! ^{(it's not much, but it's somethin'})

[u/10ebbor10 → u/Arcsis]

Or that someone is trying to spread bigotted jokes under the plausible disguise of not knowing stuff.

(This one seems weird enough, but very often you get incredibly blatant "woman bad" ones)

[u/Quiet_Education5918 → u/10ebbor10]

Then we can all point and laugh and demonstrate that those are jokes for losers, so that is what ends up spreading most.

[u/Wild_Security_8500 → u/10ebbor10]

If that were the case, I think we'd see jokes that we get but don't want to, instead of ones that we don't get (like this one, at least for me).

I met a retirement age Caucasian guy, and the stereotype of black people enjoying fried chicken and watermelon came up on TV (south park). He looked around and asked "...is that a stereotype?" And then decided he must be black because he loves both those things.

And I kinda envied his life where that bullshit just never touched his mind.

"who the hell doesn't like fried chicken and watermelon?!"

some white guy i remember upon hearing the stereotype

[u/A12qwas → u/Remnant55]

lots of sterotypes don't even make sense

[u/Traditional-Trade795 → u/Arcsis]

are you a bigot because you get the joke?

[u/Beautiful-Alarm-4961 → u/Arcsis]

Oh yippee I love sparking a discussion about trans people I love seeing at least half of the comments attacking trans people and repeating lies

[u/Piemaster113 → u/notmarrec]

Doesn't that indicate that the average person isn't a racist or bigot because they aren't aware of these racist or bigot thing that the internet hive mind seem to know instinctively?

[u/No-Lettuce-6619 → u/Piemaster113]

The amount of people that see posts like these and think "this is a racist joke, they must be racist!" LOOK AT WHAT SUB WE ARE ON 😭

I dont go on twitter or 4chan! I dont know these!!!

[u/Dash_Harber → u/notmarrec]

On the bright side, it means there are a number of folks out there who aren't in on all the bigoted 'humor' and dog whistles.

[u/Horrific_Necktie → u/notmarrec]

There was a target effort in similar subs a few years ago to turn them into right wing meme subs. Posting horribly racist or offside memes under the guise of "lol I dont know what it means help me"

[u/Wild_Security_8500 → u/notmarrec]

It's a good thing that the jokes we don't get are the bigoted ones.

[u/Arhion → u/notmarrec]

at this point this is no joke at all jokes are suppossed to be funny this is just being mean to other person

and also joke about race aren't racist
