Does it matter? Would it be any less racist if a black person told it?

Why does it matter who told it? Is one mans joke another mans racism?

If there's a gray area, then why is it so awful to tell a racial joke if you're not on a stage?

When you're on stage, you get the benefit of a doubt about what you're saying being an act as part of being an entertainer. If you say it in private conversation it's going to default to a sincere belief
