Having a joke about his look isn't racist though.

It is slightly, but that's fine when it's done in a certain way. There's a point to satire, and it's not to be mocking or malicious. Like South Park, or I think someone used the Family Guy example. The point being to highlight people's prejudices and snap-judgement overreactions in a humorous way.

There is "laughter" on this thread that is quite clearly not satirical.

That was me that used the Family Guy reference.

But yeah I get what you're saying, it's just from my perspective I was laughing at his face more than anything else, his get up was definitely a stereotype though so no wonder some people reacted to it tbf.
