BROFIST!
Someone having a certain hue of skin that lends itself to a joke isn't a judgement of their character. Perhaps it's lowest common denominator humour, but that has nothing to do with whether or not it is funny.

I kinda disagree. A lot of the jokes are based on race, and some of them critique racism. The one about the Sudanese guy is really problematic, but ones like this are great:
I heard she does walking tours of London

These two got me.
I don't think pigmentism is all that funny, but if you don't think black people laugh at skin color I think you haven't been around that many black people.
Leave it to whitepeopletwitter to try to colonize a blackpeopletwitter thread, smh
Still waitng on R/Whitepeopletwitter to take off
Best post in this thread.
I love these, it's such dry wit with the perfect dash of dark humour.
okay this one is terrible and incredible

That buff guy could legit play the Hulk with just some green paint and the perspective tricks from LOTR. No CGI needed.
I actually realized I have some Japanese grill in a "doggy box" in the fridge from two nights ago, so I just heated that up.
TIL about "squad".
TIL black people don't play videogames.
OMG my black friend (s) are going to be soooo excited to hear this.

Exactly my point, this picture is mocking how absurd a stereotype is (in this case, how people implicitly judge people based on having "ethnic" names) versus merely pointing at the name and laughing how funny it sounds in relation to "standard" names.
you were able to present the point much clearer in many fewer words than i was though
The difference is whether the skin hue lends itself to the construction of a joke, or if the skin hue itself is being seen as the joke. For example, the joke about the Irish girl sunbathing is funny because you are initially led to believe the pale girl on the right is being mocked, when the actual punchline is the even paler girl on the left you could not see and the picture sarcastically mocking the quick assumption made. The paleness may contribute to the joke in that context, but it is not inherently the source of humor: if that pale girl was just sitting in some random environment with no context it would no longer be funny.
Basically, its the difference between a joke that uses racial stereotypes and a racial stereotype presented as a punchline with no joke.
Brings back memories from primary school.
Gotta send the drake ones to my girlfriend hahaha. Those are awesome

Admit it, you loved it.
I remember trying to scratch some cheat codes from a gameshark book in my arm cuz I wasn't going to buy the whole thing. This is before camera phones and I didn't have any paper on me.

BS. I'm pale and pink as a shit but during the winter my skin gets really dry. I can leave marks for hours. They're red though.
Motherfuck, that would have been great to have cell phones back in those days for that very same reason.
I'd be bouncing back and forth from one foot to the other, looking at some Tony Hawk codes in EGM2 and being like "do I buy the magazine? I'm broke", "I could rip it out", "i could come back with a pen and paper, but it's like a 5 mile walk home", damn...

Weird seeing people get offended by the filter joke. Black dudes at work roast each other all the time about being dark or light, depending on the situation. We had one dude that was pretty fat and stayed out in the sun to long. They said he turned purple and looked like a blueberry.
isnt it great how if you had written this in a meme style post, you would be getting accused of being a white kid pretending to be black on the internet by some people in here?
I get where Mesousa is coming from but after seeing him post in a few different threads he has a particular take on racial dynamics that I don't share.

This one killed me hahaha
Oh my god when he explains Donkey Punch and Angry Pirate I almost shit. And I don't think Patrice is funny. But he killed it. The Camera guy was dying.
I think everyone has been in there at least once. I love the looks hes getting
Seriously though, everyone needs to get this. It adds more features to ignore like removing the "HEY HERES A POST BY A PERSON YOU IGNORED BUT YOU CANT SEE IT BECAUSE YOU IGNORED THEM!"
I adore this extension.

Holy shit, how desperate are you to be offended?
She's not wearing a dress, she's wearing a huge pair of shorts.
She's literally wearing a boxershort. Or a dress that looks a whole lot like one.
