Isn't it just an attempt at a funny analogy?

We can't keep crying racist every time a non White is the punchline, that would just cause division.

No one would ever say that though, I think that's the point. White people as a group are never stereotyped/generalised the way black people as a group are

The fact they're not white is the punchline though.

It's funny and it's not racist and I posted it just because. You don't have to laugh Marshy. It's not compulsory.
