A Racist Joke

I ran across a poem recently that I personally found laugh out loud hilarious. But when I showed it to a co-worker their reaction was: “...interesting”. Here is the poem that did not illicit even a chuckle.

If our white-majority nation
Has so much discrimination,
Let me float a plan to help the NAMs* survive:
Line them up, in any order,
Send them south across the border —
Hispanics can’t be racist, so they’ll thrive!

*Non-Asian Minorities: blacks and Hispanics.

Now, as my colleague did not find the poem funny, I'm guessing that their internal reaction to this was to think: “Ok, my co-worker is just a little bit racist”. Now I most certainly am a little bit racist, but that fact is not betrayed by my enjoyment of this poem.

So as it is clearly not readily apparent why this is poem is funny, let me explain it. There are lots of complaints of racism today which are very absurd. To argue for the continued existence of racism in our country today on a wide scale, activists have to either rely on bad statistics, lame personal experiences (I went to a restaurant and a guy looked at me funny), or a hand full of events that generally are not even current (and often mis-reported to give them the racist element). Then when these dishonest activists are called out on their double standards, and overt racism against white people, they make the claim that minorities can't be racist. The logic of the argument is in a nut shell that minorities are oppressed and oppressed people cannot be racist. So by their logic when there is a mob of black people out yelling “It's beat whitey night!” that is not racism.  In their mind the mob is oppressed, and the people being beaten are the oppressors.

 

All of these laughably false claims are contradicted by how people vote with their feet. Make all the claims about poor treatment and discrimination that you want, but people risk their lives to run away from their various racist free, socialist paradises south of the border.

So the joke is not hahaha lets run the minorities out of the country. The joke is in pointing out the contradiction in what the race hustlers say they believe and where they live. And you have to admit that's funny.
