    Ask them to explain the “joke” then once they finish say I didn’t find the joke funny.

      I do this, but then I pick it apart to make it really painful.

        “Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren’t just stating something really backwards”

            What’s there to get? Why can’t you explain it? Feeling uncomfortable?

      They can’t ever explain the joke, though.

        That’s half the fun. Watching them squirm and try to figure out how to explain the joke without saying the -ism out loud when they realize they’re not in “safe” company.

      As long as 1 singular person finds the joke funny it still counts as a joke.

        I have a lot of jokes where my friends don’t find them funny. But there’s always a punch line, some smart wordplay, terrible pun, even if they feel like it’s too forced (smh).

        Racists do know that openly saying that “minorities being abused is funny” sounds racist as fuck, so they try to avoid explaining their jokes.
