Some racist jokes on stereotypes (comedy)


Hitler and the Boogiemen for Orange Pride!
(Saturday Night Live via Lena Winters, June 12, 2021). Trigger warning! Cancel culture has crept up on us, and SNL has even found a way to make it funny. For instance, here's Michael Che trying to cancel co-anchor Colin Jost for four minutes and 43 seconds. Are we allowed to laugh or will Jost be tossed out on his @ss because of the "zero tolerance" rule the holier-than-thou grand inquisitors are gaveling in judgment. Black and white, cat and mouse, but let's leave the Yellows out? There's no room for irony or hipster comedy in a post ironic world of our future. Build tolerance, not insulated ignorance. Are there other taboos to tackle, too? When the Thought Police rule, no one -- and certainly no radical movement -- is safe.
