Im not racist but this is funny

Tbh your the one promoting it, if everyone just laughed about it then there would be no racism just like here in Australia no one gives a rat's ass where your from and we always mess around with racist jokes and there is almost no racism here, at least around where I live

I fail to see how pointing out how ignorance to light racism makes me racist.

But that's the problem: racism is very much a thing, and while some aren't racist but joke about racist things, it's still contributing to the problem. It's basically approving a form of racism.

I don't think you understood what I said, I said that the fact that we joke around about race extinguishs the idea of racism, because if we exclude a particular race that we can not joke about this perpetuates the racism

But it simply promotes the idea that racism can be justified.

Thank you for taking your time and I hope you'd think long and hard about this.

If we segregate joking around about a specific from particular race that is still racism

There's no segregation; just not the condoning of racism.

How?

You justify light racism (thus opening the door to genuine racism) by actually partaking in light racism.
