This reminds me of employee orientation I went through at an old job. There were videos on the usual things like sexual harrassment, workplace/industrial safety, etc.
The video on racial discrimination actually had some examples of what not to do.
What I remember was a white employee asking a black employee about why do mexicans always drive low riders, the black employee was all idk, white employee says “it’s so they can pick lettuce without having to get out of the car!”, and both laughed hysterically.
Those of us in the training room were looking at each other like ummmmm wtf?

Inspired by the “Diversity Day” episode of The Office, no doubt.

So, someone googled “racist joke”, decided to include it into a presentation on how not to be racist, decided they themselves don’t want to be racist, so the joke should be told between people of different skin color, and at no point did they get up and just walk into the woods, never to return to human society again. That’s certainly not the choices I would’ve made, but sure.
