so you would post a joke about black people being stupid, eating a watermelon and drowning? Or how about a lazy mexican person selling drugs. Stereotypes are damaging be it as a "joke" or a slur. Stop perpetuating them, if you can't make a joke without it then you're not very funny, there's better material out there, this is just lazy comedy.
Are racism, sexism, and stereotypes laughably stupid? Yes. But they're also serious issues that cause genuine harm, and they deserve to be discussed. Even if we do it your way and just laugh at people who are being unironically bigoted, we solve nothing because it makes those people angrier and more hateful.
