Why are racist jokes funny?
<|assistant|>
Racist jokes may seem funny on the surface, but they are ultimately driven by an underlying prejudice, often rooted in fear or ignorance. These jokes appeal to deep-seated stereotypes that can be found within a culture or across various societies and reinforce harmful narratives by creating an environment where derogatory language is accepted and encouraged.
