As a white person, I am authorising and allowing this joke to be made, and I am retracting and removing any racism labels associated or attached to it.

You're welcome!

So one person of another race could "clear" a joke against their race? Obviously not.

As a comedian, I am writing you referral for your doctor for a humor-transfusion. Any of the four will do.

I get no one address with me here but I stand by it:

If you can't make the joke about another race, you shouldn't make it about any race.

Imagine suggesting a place is a "black nature preserve". 100% inappropriate, therefore the joke is inherently racist
