OK I will ask, to be answered by either - if you really can't see the link to race - what is the joke? What's the punchline?

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.

if someone said the england team looked like TV repair men, would that be equally racist?

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

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.

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

Are you outraged by this?

No. And whether I was outraged or not doesn't deflect from the fact that the actual purpose of this joke was to poke fun at Africans.

If it's not to poke fun at them, there is no joke there. Do you see?

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with poking fun at anyone.

Making their race the butt of the joke, however, is.

But you see that this happens both ways right? You do know I could find some videos of Black comedians making jokes about White people, for just being White, don't you? And we'd all more than likely laugh at them too.

Knock yourself out, doesn't make your belief these kind of jokes aren't racist any less wrong.
