LOCKHORNS

It is acceptable in society to make fun of white people, but not of other races.

Jokes about white people are basically harmless, whereas jokes about people of color are backed by systems of oppression that actually put them in danger/have various harmful effects.

And if this creates backlash that perpetuates those systems rather than helping them end? Aren’t you hurting the cause?

This is true but nuanced, as jokes about white people are not racist, while jokes about people of color typically are.

Equality in humor is fine by me.

Everyone should be made fun of equally.

People who deserve to be made fun of should be made fun of more. Because of their imperialist history and the crimes of their ancestors, white people should be made fun of more.

Everything and everyone is subject to being joked about.

If we argue for equality, then that means equality in everything. There can never truly be equality if we don't treat others equally. And while equity exists to help bring those who are disadvantaged to the same status and level of those who were born with certain inherent advantages, this is not an example of equity. Equity is to lift people up to the same level, not to tear down those with more privelege.
