47876, You know what's really funny

"The standard of beauty is currently European. "European", by definition is starkly "not African". Their geographical positions (in the context of what we know about continental arrangements and climates and their effects on people's biological variables) attest to that fact further.

It looks like you were personally offended. Maybe that joke *is* for you. Usually when I feel that way, I know I've stepped onto my own shaky ground and I know must soon muster the courage to confront the issue. And usually when a comedian brings that out for me I listen even harder because it's likely common and it's likely unnecessary for me to be worried about it too much. So, I check."

If you read this as someone mocking the liberal Silverman fans and their explanations of why what she says isn't racist, its as funny as anything Silverman's said.
