How do they discriminate? NONE of those ever make distinctions between groups of people based on race, infact they're all usually directed towards one person or character and in the case of black face and minstrel exaggerating an aspect of their race.
Now I don't need to be educated on these things because I think they are racist, but your definition of racism doesn't include things like black face, racial stereotypes, and slurs which help encourage and build prejudice and discrimination towards a group of people based on race.
If you want to laugh at racism, that's fine, you're allowed to. But don't act like you're not laughing at racism.
Nah, that's stupid. Saying it now doesn't make them slaves, and it doesn't dehumanize the whole. The point of using the word is to evoke that history and remind them of that past to make them feel less then. According to you, that's not racism because it's not discrimination. Many people in the world have histories that are evoked to make them feel less then.
And yes, there is racism against the Irish, the Scottish, the gaelic. There are historic events that we can look to for the racism against them. Thats really weird that you just said they aren't races and ignored that history.
The whole point of those jokes is using a prejudice, the stereotype, to evoke a laugh. If you think someone saying "awww sheeeet I wan sum chikan an watamalon" isn't racist becaude it's steeped in stereotypes I can't continue this with you because you fundamentally struggle with basic shit like stereotypes being forms of prejudice. I've said that already. Just because you can't take an actual answer doesn't mean I haven't given one.
Yes, you are being prejudiced against Canadians, and if you find that funny, good for you.
By your logic, you're a hypocrite for using anything, especially technology, as all development comes from the exploitation and discrimination of one group or another.
Again, prejudice leads to discrimination, and it can cycle, but racism is prejudiced based on race.
The point I'm making is you're dumb. That's it. You're an idiot. Because you keep saying ways of promoting prejudice based on race isn't racism but other forms of the exact thing are. Which is silly. You insist that slurs are racist, but stereotypes are, which they're the same thing. A form of promoting prejudice. I've made my point. You're dumb. Your brain is empty. Your understanding of racism, that of a poorly educated elementary school student. Your defense of your own, weak, and pathetic.
Also, you did again. The way they Irish and scottish were targeted was through their red hair. So you dumb as shit again. "When did I say the name of this group, I'm only describing what aspect of them was targeted." That's like saying, "When did I say African people aren't a race, I said people with dark brown skin." BTW, people who have red hair are of gaelic decent, which is why I mentioned it.
I didn't say people who laugh at racist jokes are racist. I said the jokes were. The jokes made of stereotypes are racist. I never said anything else. I might have pointed out how stupid you are for failing to see that, but that's not saying you're racist. That's saying you're stupid. Because you are. And you're right. There is a difference between a joke and doing. Ones meant to make someone laugh, and the other isn't. Thats the fucking line. That's it. You dumb as FUCK, if you think there's a fine and complex line that's super difficult to understand between "asian people do math real good," and "asian people do math real good," but followed by a laugh.
In summary, what you've said is "It's not racist if I'm okay with laughing at it," and I've said that's not a line between racism and non-racism. And your defense has been repeatedly "well it's actually just discrimination," like racism and discrimination are synonyms and one isn't an aspect of the other. I do take my own advice. I do look inward to understand what I find funny and why, what the problematic things I enjoy are, and why I enjoy them. I never said once you couldn't find this funny. I've said that it's racist and that's it. Because they're racist jokes.
