Because the history of racism that’s still affecting black people to this day.

Racist jokes even if not intended to be hateful help spread and keep alive these prejudices.

This isn’t a complex or baseless issue, there’s plenty of stuff you can look up if you’re interested.

I wouldn’t tell a scousers are thieves joke because I’m not an unfunny bore, I wouldn’t tell a black people are thieves joke because I’m not an unfunny racist.
