    Honestly even the “awkward chuckles” are a shameful thing, that not one person had the decency nor dignity to call that shit out. Pretty sure any non-white person has been there (seeing others, if not joining in the racism directly, awkwardly chuckling or playing neutral to the racism). In truth probably we all have also been amongst those silent before, towards even ourselves- I know I have- as a kid and in decreasing amounts as an adult (now I just don’t take it).

    It’s a betrayal of decency, a betrayal of their humanity, that by the sounds of it not one single person stepped up. Not like I’d expect more from most western audiences, much less the typical “comedy” audiences, but it’s some wretched shit.
