i dislike most racist jokes not because they're over the line but because they seem to have been created with no effort or inclination towards genuine wit and instead focus on being as vicious as possible towards whatever their target group is.

i can laugh at a funny joke that feels really wrong to laugh at. but i don't care to laugh at a thinly veiled declaration of hate/genocidal fantasy.
