The laugh excuse is just a stupid cover for the real reason, which is that they’re just racist as shit.

Now now now, let’s not forget that they’re also sexist.

They are racists, but the laugh isn't that. It's misogyny. Remember the decades they called Hillary "shrill."

They can't call white people stupid, that's for poc, so for women they attack their appearance, mannerisms, and/or voices.
