Ask them to explain the “joke” then once they finish say I didn’t find the joke funny.
“Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren’t just stating something really backwards”
As long as 1 singular person finds the joke funny it still counts as a joke.
I have a lot of jokes where my friends don’t find them funny. But there’s always a punch line, some smart wordplay, terrible pun, even if they feel like it’s too forced (smh).
Racists do know that openly saying that “minorities being abused is funny” sounds racist as fuck, so they try to avoid explaining their jokes.
friend says fucked up shit, asks if you agree
“What? No. Shit no! I believe you get your ass kicked for saying shit like that.”
Nah. Don’t wait for them to ask. Tell them they are being an asshat. It’s good for them
“What the fuck dude, you’re talking like there’s no paper in tray two after I just filled it. Fuck off!”

Slight lean back

Expression of baffled disgust

Quietly: “The fuck?”
Cuts deep
If you’re especially non-confrontational, then even the first one, or 0 reaction, can do. Just don’t do the polite chuckle. They’ll think it landed.
I have to work really hard not to laugh myself, and instead let it be awkward.
“Bro, not cool.” With a stern look always sets the homies straight.
Honestly I haven’t had to say something in almost a decade
It’s all about where you live and what you look like.
I’m a huge white dude in a red state, I’ve been getting hit on by nazis since before I was a teenager because I look like their “ideal”.
Like, when they picture their “master race” it’s what I look like, so they always fucking assume I’ll agree with any side comment they make.
If you’re not in a super blue area, you’re not hearing stuff because something identifies you as “them” and not “us”. But even in blue areas I’ll hear shit.
