How do I join in without sounding too offensive when someone is making fun of another person's culture?

It is best to tread carefully when someone is making fun of another person's culture. If you want to join in without sounding too offensive, it might be best to keep your comments lighthearted and upbeat. A good rule of thumb is to avoid comments that reinforce negative stereotypes or go too deeply into controversial topics. If you're unsure, it's better to err on the side of caution and simply sit back and enjoy the jokes rather than participating yourself.

You could try to join in the conversation by making anlight-hearted observation about the cultural practice or shared experience that's being discussed. For example, if someone is discussing a particular food item, you could make a joke about how that food item is also popular in your culture but with a different name. This may help you engage in the conversation while still respecting the other culture.
