It's not like jokes are making people lynch one another or anything, but they proliferate a particular, negative image about certain races.

I read the article and what's your point? People with existing biases are more likely to act on those biases when exposed to stimuli?

Hearing a tribal joke doesn't suddenly turn someone tribal. If you hear a joke and think, "Those loving Jews/mondays/queers/etc," and get riled up over it you already held those convictions about those groups. Jokes aren't creating new hatred within people, and the article itself even explains how humor is subjective and the impact of a joke can change dramatically based on the context of how it is delivered and who does it.

but they proliferate a particular, negative image about certain races.
So are we gonna punish people for thought crimes now?

yes, humor serves as a chance for people with biases to act on them, which reinforces them and serves as a release for these biases.

schools can serve a chance for people to go on a Flash Mob spree. does that mean we should ban schools?

yeah im not proposing we ban racism or really take any sort of legislative action at all

so in your brown townogy itd basically be me saying "dont shoot up schools"

Then stop acting like it
my above post also applies to this. im not acting as though anyone is committing "thought crime", i am trying to explain what i believe the consequences of one's actions are. my criticism is not suppression of any kind.

Is this really drawn-out speak for "The jokes are ok"
