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.
It is comedy. It's just racist comedy and American culture largely abandoned that in the 2000s.
What's it matters if it's comedy?
Your last sentence was saying it wasn't comedy. Im saying it is bad and hacky but comedic nonetheless.
It's a saying. If you can't understand that I'd reccomend not commenting.
No that's not a saying and you are in no place to dictate who should comment and when.
It is. It's readily available on the internet so it's a very dumb lie to go with.
And I can have opinions on who should comment.
Crawl back out of your ass.
