i think these jokes can be funny sometimes. sometimes they just miss the mark tho, or leave a sour taste. bc of how touchy the subject can get, it really depends! but i don't think the existence of these jokes implies that bigotry doesn't exist, or that you can't be sensitive to it even when you find them funny

I think the "implies that bigotry doesn't exist" idea is from a slightly different kind of joke -- the kind where one of the characters in-universe gets offended in the middle of the statement, and then is poked fun at for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

So for the gag in the screenshot, it would've gone "I don't want my son to end up with a woman like Lana Kane!" "What, because she's black?!" "No, because of her job, now don't you feel silly and over-sensitive getting all worked up to fight against racism when it was all in your head."

Those, I don't ever like. The kind that's actually in the secret, though -- I agree with you, it depends on how they're handled.
