@clacke @aral ok, so if it doesn't matter if he's racist but he uses the racist way to think to underline the fallacy of racism, he's doing a good job, what's wrong with his delivery?! He's not at all rooting for people to BE racist, I mean, nobody would really laugh if he meant it seriously. Again he uses a joke to make fun of people who think this way, not of the people who died for being gipsy or romas, so i can't think of a better delivery

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Monday, 07-Feb-2022 00:33:20 UTC savohead @clacke @aral and you know for sure he's racist?! He openly stated it somewhere I didn't read or heard?! He also explains the joke after, saying that few people know about the other minorities because schools don't teach it and people don't talk about it... how could the joke reinforce your point?!

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Sunday, 06-Feb-2022 17:14:47 UTC savohead @aral @clacke that's exactly the point of the joke. He's not targeting these victims, but the people that think there could be a difference between killing a group of people or killing another one. Really, how could a joke on discrimination be funny, if it uses discrimination to prove its point?

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Sunday, 06-Feb-2022 11:22:00 UTC savohead @clacke @aral mmmh... sorry, so what are we talking about? The intention of the joke is to exploit the clichΓ© of distinguishing among races, if you're not talking about what he meant, I don't get the protest is about...

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Sunday, 06-Feb-2022 08:08:46 UTC savohead @clacke @aral really?! I mean, it starts with "this is going to be a career end" and then proceeds with the joke, people feel uncomfortable since he opens with the holocaust subject... and really, really, do you think that with this subject, with this build up, with discrimination in mind, he would go for a plain racist joke?! I'm not the best in believing in people, but here I'm quite sure more people in the audience would be offended if it meant it your way

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Sunday, 06-Feb-2022 05:25:30 UTC savohead @clacke @aral I'm sorry again, but I think the irony is exactly where you see sincerity. I think he's obviously using the "common" belief that killing jews is bad but everybody is annoyed by romas, to make people feel uncomfortable laughing. It's what he does a lot of times, in his comedy, I think it would really be far fetched to think that if he jokes about people discriminating, he himself would use discrimination to state a point

savohead@mastodon.uno's status on Saturday, 05-Feb-2022 10:22:42 UTC savohead @aral sorry if I misunderstood your phrase, but the irony behind the joke is exactly the use of a stereotype (people non liking gypsies) to make the audience uncomfortable by stretching it to the extreme
