lol in a way. maybe not physically in control but the power they wield nowadays over free speech laws and canceling people is pretty large.

yeah but where do you draw the line? It's not actually about racism it's about bullying, and then where exactly do you define bullying? Some people have different tolerances for jokes and conversation. It's stupid to ban words or jokes because it's not a good or bad thing to say, it entirely depends on context, who you are saying it too, and how that person reacts. For sure, some people say cruel things and that shouldn't be encouraged, but you go down that rabbit hole of banning things people find offensive you will never end because there is always someone that gets pissed off by something. Who exactly is going to police it all? It's a dumb, reactionary response to something that could be dealt with differently

I will never understand banning jokes like that, it's just childish
