You might think you're making the world a better place by being offended by everything on everyone's behalf, but you're just making it more boring
Replace South African with Black or Jewish, groups people here are more aware of here. How does it sound? If it sounds bad. Then maybe you shouldn't apply it either to any other origin.
If it doesn't sound bad, then you are intolerant.
So yes, I am happy to argue against such comments to make the world better.
But I am optimistic, so I believe it's just a lack of awareness.
Am I boring because I should have known it is actually a joke? If so, would you make such jokes against Black people?
