My friends and I were just having a conversation, and I made some jokes that could be seen as racist. How can I justify my remarks by arguing that they are just jokes and not meant to be taken seriously?

It's important to be aware of how words and actions can be perceived by others and to take responsibility for your actions. If you didn't mean any harm or don't agree with what you said, apologize if necessary and explain that the joke was not meant in a malicious way but rather as a lighthearted moment among friends. You could also add that jokes sometimes come across differently than one intends and encourage the person(s) you offended to accept your apology.

By arguing that your jokes were intended to be lighthearted and good-natured, and not meant as a serious expression of racism. However, it is important to note that even jokes can have underlying implications of racism and bias, so it’s best to use caution when making such remarks.
