That is all true but this is satire.
It's satire lampshading real racism.
When people use "satire" as a shield to tell hateful jokes or mock vulnerable populations, this is often referred to as "punching down." It's also sometimes called "pseudo-satire" or "false satire" because it lacks the critical intelligence and moral purpose that defines true satirical work.
It's not comedy. It's a clap trap for racists.
The article is satire not Jeff Dunham. Hopefully they made onion rings before you ate the onion.
And then someone made a comment and we went into a discussion. That's where you showed up with your comment.
So let's run both your social skills together and determine what your best course of action here is
A. Join in the conversation B. Leave the nice people alone C. Drop all context or etiquette and try and be a contrarian online for some sweet, sweet Lemmy updoots
