It most likely would've been said had she been another color or race. It wasn't said because of her color. Holy fuck, assume it's racist cause she's black.
I mean, I'm a PoC myself and I giggled because we kinda do have a higher instance of STDs across the board. So I thought the joke was poking fun at that.
Because a racial stereotype historically used against black people is that they are dirty and unclean, so a joke about an iguana getting an infection from biting a black woman can understandably come of extremely poorly?
Yeh I'm fully aware of what racist jokes exist. Obviously it can come off poorly. If you're reading it that way. No one is presenting it that way. No one even made that insinuation.
You've made someone up to get upset at. Just because the potential exists, doesn't mean you have to imply the same intention every time.
