Of course the people who are asking you to explain are really just making the point that the only real joke here is "Chinese people look funny". If you don't believe that then you won't find this "joke" funny.

That's not the joke, the joke is the absurd caricature and the other things I mentioned. He caricatured 5 different cultures. Including the british.

The "absurd character" is a well established racist stereotype.

A caricature. Similar to any caricature.

Yes but caricatures carry racial and nationalist themes which are loaded with bigotry and xenophobia.

Not necessarily. You are making that insinuation. My point is that you can mock and caricature without sincerely believing someone is inferior to you. But as you said before you believe humour must have criticism in it, which I do not believe. So we disagree on this point.

Mocking literally means that you think something is inferior. The humor that Crowder is "attempting" is to juxtapose those of different nationalities/races with "normal" people (white americans) through implication.

Also you can't shrug off the moral implications of something just by saying "I don't believe that's wrong". It's kinda ironic, because cons like you hate "postmodern moral relativism", when what you're espousing is pretty much just a crappier version of it.

Murdering someone to steal from them, we can agree, is easily morally wrong. Championing your nation before other nations in your foreign and domestic policy is not so cut and dry morally. There is an argument to be made on either side.

One last question before I sleep: Wouldn't it be the same morally, if a country were to damage another country for it's own benefit, as when somebody steals from somebody else? Why is saying"I believe in my nation first" different from a thief saying "I believe in myself first"
