    Oh, here I thought it was a history joke in the same vein as saying “My American roommate moved out and took all the oil with him. How do I tell him it’s just cooking oil?”

    Clearly this is actually a condemnation of the roommate’s Inferior White Bloodline and his Ancestral Guilt.

      Are we allowed to make jokes about national heritage now, too? Cause I’ve got some zingers about my old Middle Eastern roommate, but they’ve been bombing…

        Jokes about national heritage are fine - in fact, they’re all over this sub.

        But simply repeating popular bigotry that people earnestly believe is not a joke, and will not be treated as such.

          The downvotes on the comment you answered to tell us a different story though. Ultimately the mods decide, but still

          Woah. Ok. So, you have no idea what the term colonizer means, if you think any of those jokes is remotely close to what you posted earlier today.

                Coloniser after colonising the place becomes the land-“Lord”. Hence the answer
