Well, some black people are racist. Candace Owens. And some gay people are homophobic. Republican senators. And I will bet you money that some people who survive cancer are also evil.
And if anyone makes a bigoted/insensitive joke, they should absolutely be called out for it.
You’re missing the point. If you want to actually be accepting of others and welcoming you need to understand nuance and actually know something about a person, not jump on them for a joke that is clearly a joke or an attempt to laugh about a difficult topic.
It’s the assumption that you’re a good person and anyone telling a joke you see as potentially problematic must be a bad person and feeling instantly justified in jumping on them with hate. It’s like screaming at a person you know nothing about beyond their skin tone about cultural appropriation of things from a culture you don’t belong to or know much of anything about.
There’s a huge difference between actually speaking up for people and against actual racism and jumping on someone based on your own assumption to show what a good person you are and because you feel justified in letting out some hate at someone you’ve decided must be bad and doing that feels good.
And it’s extremely funny that your go to for racist black people was Candace Owens.
