how common is ss ? <| sep |> I think it is the consistency of action in this case enjoying and making racist jokes that will give you a racist identity in the end . It ' s a fine line between pleasure from the absurdity and pleasure from the discrimination . My example would be a friend I had that said racist jokes were more creative than other jokes . In my opinion of him , he ' d never think unfairly of other races , and I guarantee he ' d never use white privilege as power over a person of color . He thought jokes that didn ' t have a racial labeling and humiliation element just weren ' t very creative as he put it . I told him I simply heard the same punchline in all his racist jokes . Blah , blah , blah , this race is stupid , or why did the guy of this race do this stupid trope ? It ' s not to say some of them were not funny and I laughed at some bad ones . I just grew tired of them because for me they eventually became the same thing no matter how they were told . What would you think of me if I told you that every time he told me a racist joke I laughed my ass off and went to spread the racist joke around ? You ' d kinda think I was a racist or at least held racist views if every racist joke was funny to me . If all I did was tell racist jokes to people , you might think I was a racist too . It ' s fine to have a dark sense of humor , probably even good , but you do need to know where the line is drawn between acting funny and acting awful . You ' ll find that line somewhere between laughing at some racist jokes versus laughing at all racist jokes .
