LoginI love making fun of white people. I do it every day. It garners laughs, which, as a humorist, is what I want most in this world. The thing I want second most? For white people to stop trying to pass off casseroles as real food. The reason is not that I hate white people some of my best friends are white! By making fun of white people, people of color can, in a small way, push back against stereotypes, opposing racial humor by inverting it. No, this is not the most effective way to fight prejudice. But it is one of the most enjoyable. Share them, and you gain membership in a club open to all people of color, a space impervious to white hegemony.
