Hi Hildy,
Looks like you and I are alone here. Let’s go on record as saying that the joke wasn’t intended to demean white people in any way. What was funny about it (only slightly funny, IMO) was the use of irony. As Wiki puts it, “...a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words...”

Kind of a shame to have to explain this.

This whole “joke” thing was an opportunity to beat the Left over the head with their own club.
