Ask them to explain the “joke” then once they finish say I didn’t find the joke funny.

I do this, but then I pick it apart to make it really painful.

“Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren’t just stating something really backwards”

They can’t ever explain the joke, though.

That’s half the fun. Watching them squirm and try to figure out how to explain the joke without saying the -ism out loud when they realize they’re not in “safe” company.

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

I would never treat people the way I feel towards printers! Hateful, vile things…

  1. Slight lean back

  2. Expression of baffled disgust

  3. Quietly: “The fuck?”

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.

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.

I’m a white American immigrant in Germany. The shit people say to me about immigrants, which they then walk back with “but not you, you’re one of the good ones,” is infuriating.
