    I am very confused at how people on the “whitepeopletwitter” instance are angry about a joke at a white person’s expense?

      It’s not “a white person”, it’s a blanket jab against all white people.

      Ah apologies, guess the racism is 100% warranted and okay then, because the community is made to ridicule and be racist.

        You do realize that based on a societal level, this joke is punching UP and not “down”, which is why it’s completely okay to poke fun at white people.

        Unless you’re not in the United States and white people in your country don’t hold the majority of powerful positions, then I guess maybe I can see why you’d be upset?

          Have you ever thought to yourself “maybe I shouldn’t be defending blatant racism?”
