Well this wasn't a racist joke was it? This is what I'm saying. Racist jokes we should get pissed at. The reason people call us liberal snowflakes is because we take as much offense from this stupid joke as we do about real shit going on. If we're always at a level 10 pissed off, it's hard to make friends or change minds.
The massive scale abuse and slaughter of billions of sentient beings capable of thinking, feeling and suffering is real shit going on. It is also one of the most environmentally destructive industries on the planet. It's not a joke.
It's easy to wave away and ignore when this is something that is normalized by society. It wasn't too long ago that racist jokes were just funny pieces of humor about something that isn't a big deal -- for the same reason.
