    I thought “Crackheads love crack” and chucked, I didn’t even notice they were all black people until “racism” was mentioned (I’m on mobile so small pic on small screen, only see shapes unless I zoom).

    But is interpreting the joke in the non-racist way any better? Generalising a large group of drug addictsv- A group many people, me included, consider “sick” and in a situation not of their choosing?

    Not really.
