anas qureshi He was asking her to think about her actions toward him. How she assumed he was asking her for money just because he was black and on the street. He was offended and wanted her to know without being angry or aggressive toward her. I hope this helped! 😊
@Clorox Bleach going by your logic, the fact that you knew that she understood the joke means that you understood the joke, and so , you're racist too. Right? (Personally, understanding a racist joke doesn't mean we are racist. It just means that we are aware. So you're not racist, and neither is she.)
My thoughts are: take a joke in context. TV shows like South Park or Family Guy are offensive, but they're equally offensive to every kind of person. It's fine when it's taken in this regard. If a friend tells you a couple offensive jokes and it was in that kind of context where they're just making fun of people in general, why should it matter? If you find it funny, laugh and enjoy your friend's company.
@@imfatloser1958 It means, Hmmmm Its a jester thats all. Howabout us ones that say "i cant be racist because i'm black". I heard this or read it somewhere for the 1st time a few months ago. Of course it has nothing to do with the movie i just wanted to see a brief opinion about it,( please not to make nothing big of it)
Kevin Yeoh now I understood what happened. I thought the white guy was racist, then helped the black guy with directions, and left the girl for no reason. I was so confused
@kila J Are you just upset because not every black person agrees with you. Every comment that says they are black, you had to comment that there’s no proof. What does that say about you?
@@probrickgamer clean white hoodie backpack… homeless? You got some well taken care of homeless where you live. Btw are you looking at the clothes or his skin.
I saw one pic a while ago and there was someone standing in a room (a white person i think) and a black guy lying where the shadow was and I think some people didn’t even see him lying on the ground
Alexander Todorov if ur in a downtown area it’s common to find homeless ppl dressed like this. i do the same with white ppl if i get the idea they might ask for cash because they don’t present themselves in a good manner. especially if ur coming out of a nice restaurant it VERY common.
He's racist because if the racist act of telling racist jokes. She's racist by being "antiracist" in defending Black people but still holding racist stereotypes towards them. Bayafana.
phumelele makhoba no even us black people tell does jokes for instinct every one in my fam is black they be like if she was black she’d be gone just for fun not for disrespect
Viktor the victor But it’s racist of you and the audience to assume her assumption was based on his race and not instead on his bummy scruffy attire. I didn’t cut the guy off but I did once assume a scruffy bearded white guy was homeless and about to ask for money when he turned out to be a college student looking for his friend’s building. The male date is still closer to being a racist here.
I know what this show was going for but I've literally never in my life heard someone say "sorry I dont have any money" to a clean shaven clean clothes black man who hasn't said a word yet and I live in New York city.
@@EasterTurkey nearly every sitcom has pulled the "woman faking orgasms" trope. The point is that you see the joke about that as a joke on a subset of men, and not the entirety, but see the joke about ribs as a joke against all black people. Who's to say there isn't a subset of black people crazy obsessed with ribs that deserve ridicule? And the joke is directed specifically at them instead of all black people? Also, I don't understand why liking ribs is a negative stereotype. It's probably an odd/annoying one, but how is it any worse than, say, the one about Russians liking vodka?
Side moral of the story: some people like to talk about themselves in a way that is all good, and even believe it themselves, but when it comes to practicality, no one is immune to prejudice.
She was just virtue signaling by acting offended at a relatively benign joke, and then proceeded to be terribly raciest to a black man right to his face
@@martinwebb1681 that's different , Democrat is an ideology . Judging a party that fought tooth and nail to keep black people in chains and a 100 years of 2nd class citizen , afterwards ? He'll yeah I am
@@vladyslavtrofimov516 - She demonstrated what makes cat ladies. 2 out of 3 men in general aren't interested in committing romantically to SJWs and 3 out of 4 white men feel that way about SJW women. In any case, SJW women tend to reject conservative men before the latter get the chance not to commit romantically.
And the even more sad is that she lied when she said she had no money cuz she had money to pay the dinner even when the guy said he would pay it she just didnt want to give it to the black dude
If anything, this joke can be seen as a parody of statements like "I can't be racist, i have a black friend", which usually try to justify racism, so the joke can actually be seen as anti-racist.
I disagree. Malcolm was talking about the people who smile in our face and say that they're our ally, while actively sabotaging our community. The woman in the film isn't a saboteur. She simply has unconscious bias.
If a Jew tells a Jew joke, we laugh. Have to, unless you want to accuse them of oppressing themselves. A non-Jew tells the same joke and it is instantly branded oppression. And as for this guy, he should consider himself lucky he found out now. It only cost him one evening.
“I can’t be racist, my shadow is black!” Now that was funny and not racist. He was making fun of people who do / say racist things that they try to rationalize it by saying oh no am not racist I have several black friends! Edit: Wow this comment blew up. I never get likes my highest ever was 5
I laughed at that joke and I am black. here is a more racist one Q: how many policeman does it take to lit a bulb. A: none they just beat the room for being black.
Creole Chicken It’s not about you specifically. It’s stereotypes. Whites have stereotypes too. But learn to take jokes. Time flies when your having fun. Idc what colour you are.
she laughed at the sexist joke BECAUSE it is about her. if she was a man he would have said that's sexist! she is not black, so obviously she would not laugh at a racist joke! black people can make jokes about black people, when a white person does it, its obviously wrong because THEY cannot say that. for example you and your white friend's are joking and a coloured person joins, you might feel offended, which is a normal feeling. she isn't being a Karen, shes aware
Definitely,I would say a racial joke is something to do with black or white or mix raced people,and a racist joke is a very bad stereotype that is taken seriously like when a Muslim ask you to watch ur bag social experiments,can u see the difference,might be hard as I'm not good at explaining things
@@aydeepeperoni6018 the comment was made a month ago the hate was probably buried in the cs, but at the time i made this comment there was lots of hate
"I can't be racist, my shadow is black" was actually pretty good😂 I wouldn't consider it racist though, because it's commenting on the stupidity of white people saying they know a black person so they can't he racist. I thought it was kinda clever
Is it just me or do I personally just not find that joke funny? Like, I just didn't laugh at it. Not cause I thought it crossed the line or anything, just cause.
Yeah, that is the least racist thing I've heard. Since my family is half black and half white, one of my friends said that if i was in the 1700s, I would be the slave and the slave owner at the same time.
i figured they put it in there for a reason so i looked it up and it turns out the term "going dutch" (she says it when the bill comes) is from the British believing Netherlanders to be stingy. that's what you call great writing
when people act all "politicly correct" but just as a trend and don't actually care about the racism and unfair treatment towards different groups of people
Treating others the way we'd like to be treated is a ridiculously long trend. It's like longer than this whole religion fad people are super into these days.
black people like to commit crimes, wait whoops i mean white people like to commit crimes, i almost said something racist by pointing out black stereotypes
@@joanlui100 omfg yes. When i crack asian jokes...as an asian...people get offended? and i'm like, it's all in good fun, it's not like i actually think that we all eat dumplings or somethin
@@bunnysenpaimon6742 ikr n i think the joke wasnt even offensive....n at the end i hate the way she direct say i dont hav money she didnt even try to listen😅
@@RU-vidShortsIsACesspool Practicing not being racist is cool, but still not patting people on the back for the race jokes either. Either way, it's a step backwards and we should understand we are still capable of, knowingly or not, doing or saying something that can alienate, demean, and/or set back a people. Even as a "harmless joke" or "misunderstanding."
Depending on how you look at it, this skit can be interpreted in a number of ways: 1. Actions speak louder than words: the woman was indignant over racist jokes yet showed that she was racially biased towards a black person. 2. Everyone has a little bit of racism. We end up absorbing it because it's all around us, and it can either manifest in racial jokes or in snap judgments based in race. 3. Humour is a great way to test compatibility with people. The guy's jokes may have been based on racial stereotypes, but the night would have gone very differently if she had laughed along. 4. Everyone is a little messy, so don't be quick to dismiss people. Yes, the guy could have told better jokes but the bad jokes don't make him a bad person. Similarly, the black guy could have been dressed better but bad clothes don't make him homeless. It's better to take a moment to think about things than jump to conclusions. Anyway, this was a good thought-provoking piece. Well done.
I'm overweight and found this joke really funny, y'all stop getting offended by something that is not even potentially addressed to you. The character she plays is a snowflake, moral of the story don't be like her, just take a joke as it is :))
@@NoName-ms8jb Nice to know your mom is teaching you that everybody that acts negative is a troubled individual. Welcome to the 5%. The people that nobody talks about.
@@NoName-ms8jb also quit using this as an excuse for writing a terrible comment. You are just criticising humans as a way to expand your ego and trying to get me off topic.
@@Hospitals-el1jf ey yo idk what it is too so this is what i found on google: Description "Going Dutch" is a term that indicates that each person participating in a paid activity covers their own expenses, rather than any one person in the group defraying the cost for the entire group.
A think one of my teachers taught me is a lesson about the saying "its just a joke" . The thing is does the person you are joking about take your joke as a joke. Its something to think about. But what a ending!
@@mochimmy3724 No he wasnt racist, the real moral here is that the only people who get offended by clearly non-offensive jokes about race are genuinely racist people because those jokes cut too close to what they actually think
@@mochimmy3724 what like u wanna stop ppl from making such jokes? And to what extent? I m an indian and I laugh at the stereotype that most indians are technical support with a weird accent(it's pretty understandable tho) So like to what extent will u go to, to curb ppl from makin such jokes. Lol I think I said to much...
He was racist though, but not in as obvious a way as the woman. Finding nothing wrong with repeating a stereotypical joke is pretty iffy to me. The second joke he made was obviously a joke, so I agree with you on that. I personally think both of them were racist and neither of them really recognized it because at that point, the racism they portrayed was subconscious.
Everybody does lol. That's how the world operates. If you're not asking, you don't have a roof over your head. I'm not really sure what you're asking to let sink. ..
I really like the message of this one because it's a huge topic in today's life! The people that are the most offended by things like (not even THAT racist) jokes are quite often the ones that have complexes inside and just want to overplay their own racism by acting all surprised and offended. Most black people will have a great laugh with you about a normal joke (as long as it's meant to be a joke like in the short story and not as an insult) I hope people will let this story a bit closer to their head and let the message sink in
Loved this, I've always seen it as the people who are easily offended and take offense to just humour are the ones who are actually racist for making it a thing.
I think it's funny how people see it as an actual reflection of society because it makes them feel good about themselves accepting laughing about ridiculing black people on unfounded stereotypes, but wake up, this is *fiction* and people making racist jokes are the kind of people desensitized about oppression and that actually behave like racists.
@@joannot6706 So, a black person making black jokes isn't a racist, but a white person making black jokes is a racist? I worked with an elderly woman who was a widow. She had nothing better to do, so would show at work just to drink coffee and socialize even though it was her day off. She wouldn't be wearing no shoes, no bra and no teeth (exactly like that). Then would be in the back smoking and drinking coffee with some of the employees on break. She took her coffee just like how she liked her men, black. But that's how she described it and she did drink her coffee black. Not too mention hugging the employees and giving them a peck on the cheek. Thing is, they were all black and loved it. Especially so when she cooked and brought her cooking to work. She would even bring freshly baked, HOT, brownies to work. Everyone loved it. Then I worked with a celebrity. If you ever watched Chainsaw Massacre Leatherface 3D. When they're in the meat department cutting, you'll notice to the right is a black man cutting. That's Big Zack. That's our meat cutter. All the store scenes filmed in that one store was in Mansfield, La. And myself as well as all the rest of us told him the exact same thing. "They wanted a real black man in that movie." But, our black staff said the same thing too. He was so proud. We were proud of him. He got in a movie and even doing his normal job in the movie. And he's the sweetest guy. White folks wouldn't think that with him a BIG black man, but he's just a big teddy bear.
Telling racist jokes doesn't make you somehow not racist. Nor does the assumption that she thought he was pandhandling because of skin color. Pretty much the waitress in the clear in that clip, and chances are she wasn't expecting much of a tip from the black dude at the table next to theirs. People are racists and that's in now way defensible.
