When marginalized people make jokes about themselves and their communities they're hilarious. When privileged people make jokes about marginalized people it's not funny at all. Privileged people only have a handful of jokes about marginalized people and they all suck.

When marginalized people make a type of joke but privileged people can't doesn't that make the marginalized people privileged?

No. The privilege to understand one's own experience is a universal privilege: ie. no privilege at all. Its just that privileged people, because of their privilege, don't get this and feel entitled to make jokes about things they have no understanding of, and they CAN do so

Well, in that case, if you aren't white you aren't allowed to make jokes about white people. You're also not allowed to call them racist because "you don't understand their position." Bad jokes are bad, good jokes are good. It doesn't matter who makes them.

Treating marginalized people mocking privileged people as the same as privileged people mocking marginalized people is one of the ways privileged people continue to build privilege over marginalized people. They're *not* equal. The privileged already have an advantage.
