Yo, Is This Racist?

Yo, ask me if something is racist and I'll tell you. If it's absolutely necessary for you to know, I'm not white.

Anonymous asked: Someone I know claims that there are times when racist jokes can be made in "good taste", but I think that it's impossible for a racist joke to be anything but wack as hell. Who's right?

Dogg, here’s the thing: racist jokes are, at best, about that dim flicker of being able to recognize that a stereotype has been said. That’s it. They are, by definition, not at all about a new idea, a unique way of seeing the world, or in any way surprising. So that shit will always be wack as hell, yes.
