racial and other stereotype humour can be funny. and it doesn't necessarily need to be from marginalised people to be funny (though it does help that the "punching down" is removed). I think it's funniest and least cringey when the differences are celebrated rather than ridiculed

to clarify, crowder is a tool and doesn't deserve his platform. racial humour is a delicate needle to thread and the context that makes it funny and not just cheap evolves very quickly. crowder's "comedy" is cheap, nasty, and mean spirited.

“Arbitrary” is not the same as “fake” or “imaginary”. Society assigns marginalized and privileged status based on arbitrary characteristics, but those statuses are a real thing.

Imagine thinking the Right were good at comedy and then unironically using the attack helicopter joke in 2019
