I think most nations tend to have a conservative, me and my own attitude from the general public. As a group, people's politics tend to suck.
Okay, so what's the difference between being "casually racist" and making "racist comments"? Cause it reads to me like the latter is to try and soften the image of being the former. And that approach, which I stress is not a dig at Deedsie, is making it about white people problems (and this also happens with homophobia, sexism, etc. etc). So the people with the advantage in society continue to have the advantage and distract attention away from people with the disadvantage.
With jokes relating to race, it depends on what the joke is and who the target is.
GOB (Bluth) in Arrested Development has a stereotypical black puppet that he, with apparent sincerity, wants to use to educate and break down racial barriers but the duet he does with Franklin is about how tough it is for white and "brown" people. The white problem is his own individual insecurity about his intelligence while Franklin's been having #children all over toooown cause that's what They do. On top of that he doesn't understand why the black sound guy makes a quick getaway before the song can get going.
That is casual racism. The joke is on white guy GOB for being dumb enough not to see he's making things worse despite good intentions. Character is being racist, scene is being used to highlight his ignorance.
[I'd do a racist joke here to give an example of one but I really don't wanna.]
The Mr. McMahon character and his ass is the butt of the joke when using a racial slur for John Cena. Booker T is there call foul.
The actual Hulk Hogan somehow thinking all black guys are the reason his daughter has walked out on him? *racism klaxon*
And the disclaimer for all that is that this is in my opinion.
Don't worry, I'll go back to being the guy that spams gifs of R-Truth in a Confederate outfit in PPV prediction threads soon enough.
