People think ironic racism is equivalent to satire. By making racist jokes - especially sarcastic ones - people think they are pointing out why racism is wrong. But if you are saying racist things without challenging their racist foundations, you have failed at being satirical. Because once you do something racist, your intention/meaning will not always be distinguishable to others who do not live in your brain. Get it? Circulating racism is simply circulating racism.

Ironic Racism by Sumney 

So on point. This is absolutely true of every discrimination. There are some comedians who are very very good at satire. But if it’s done poorly, you just become everything you’re trying to say you’re not.
