I’d say the “stupid” people as you put it, are the ones who can’t tell the difference between attempted humour ( be it funny or not) and real deep rooted hateful racism.
How is any of that relevant unless he intended it to be racist though? It either isn’t meant to be racist and I could see how that could be funny or it was meant as black baby is a chimp, how would that be funny?

The problem is that a lot of people disguise their deep rooted hateful racism as jokes, it’s how a lot of propaganda can be spread. Look at the effect of 4chan and 8chan on racism online and especially in the US.

I don’t he intended to be racist and think his sacking is harsh. But that doesn’t mean racist jokes aren’t bad.
