As a white person, I am authorising and allowing this joke to be made, and I am retracting and removing any racism labels associated or attached to it.
You're welcome!
So one person of another race could "clear" a joke against their race? Obviously not.
As a comedian, I am writing you referral for your doctor for a humor-transfusion. Any of the four will do.
I get no one address with me here but I stand by it:
If you can't make the joke about another race, you shouldn't make it about any race.
Imagine suggesting a place is a "black nature preserve". 100% inappropriate, therefore the joke is inherently racist
I see, so context has no meaning, except when it means everything.
