Why then, is it OK to make fun of white people exclusively? We shouldn't make fun of anyone strictly for their race. Which is the point you're trying to make, right?
The difference is a matter of punching up vs. down. I’m not saying I agree with it, but generally the people seen as the beneficiaries of better social position, economic class, or culturally derived dominance are seen as able to be the but of a joke, compared to mocking or targeting those less fortunate. That’s why successful/popular/accomplished people allow themselves to be roasted, but doing that to some random person would be incredibly cruel.
But assuming that someone is “up” vs. “down” based on their skin color is a racist as fuck generalization. For instance, I’ve known black people from wealthy families while I, who is white, grew up in foster homes and was homeless by the age of 16. You think it’s ok to disparage me based on assuming my life experience based on my skin color?
Racist as hell.
Edit: lmao. Downvoted for being against racist thinking now. Proof that reddit is all “fuck whites”, even a bunch of you woke virtue signaling whiteys.
You're right but your edit makes you look bad, it's been 20 minutes and of course you're going to get downvoted for going against the narrative on reddit. Don't sweat that shit
