There is a time and place for comedy and the subject matter.
About lol at jokes. Some, most lol for the right reasons and the bigots will lol at them because they are bigots.
When I was a very young man, I could not work out why the people that went to school with me kept on making jokes about the Irish. I fell for it think/assuming wrongly as per their bigoted jokes. Thankfully a bit older I noted why.
A joke is only that when it is set out in an environment not to hurt and make those that the joke is aimed at lol.
When I was I was little, I recall some kids taking the p out of an paksitanti/indian bus conductor saying "ding, ding any more fares please" in a mimicked asian accent. That was not nice and i did not laugh as i felt the bloke was only doing his job.
Bring back our jokers back from the 70's but not the racist one.
I loved Benny Hill, Till death is do part, love thy neighbour, the latter two demonstrated what the lower classes thought about people that where ot of the same colour, i saw it as educational and funny as often the rest of the family was sensible/nice/
Thankfully jokes again travellers, lbgt, etc have almost gone away and rightly so as there ar many other topics that we can all joke about and lol together rather than hurt people/groups of people.
