I mean, this is pretty clearly racist, and everyone is acknowledging that? I think it's okay for marginalized people to laugh at absurd situations they encounter

Yes, but there are still blinds spots for many. Trying hard not to be racist sometimes ends up being one.

Oh absolutely. White savior complex is absolutely a thing to be wary of. I just thought that in this instance everyone knew what she was doing wasn't a good thing, and was laughing at the ridiculousness of it.

In general I agree, of course

If you dislike an aspect of yourself powerfully enough, instead of grasping it to lift it out, you just poke it back under the surface.
