it can be difficult in your delivery to clearly delineate that you’re making fun of the racists, racism, and other targets of bigotry. generally if you know the people you’re joking to well, it’s easier to make that delineation.

it didn’t. he liked the existential art and the statues with their boob out.
he did not last long. like, if they don’t have a known You to juxtapose against, all the audience sees is Bigot. So it’s not really existential. or funny. just bigotry.
