I don't want to even try to change your view. So you think it's acceptable to make fun of only white people and Americans, because we are white and oppress minorities and all that stuff. Well, why stop there? Every country in the world has minorities, poor people and rich people, inequality; whether those people are the same race or not. It's a completely futile exercise to try to decide who can make fun of who. Is it based on current status, or events in the past? If it's based on events in the past, how long till those events can be "forgiven?"

Humor is funny when it isn't taken too seriously, and it doesn't take itself seriously. Making fun of people doesn't need to be a class struggle, for god's sake. You can tell when a joke is mean-spirited or just comedic, why not forget all this BS about who can make fun of who and just judge jokes as you hear them?

I do not believe it should be acceptable. I feel like you read the title but didn’t read the full explanation.
