RE: This literally happened with the Trump campaign.

The joke in question was related to this: https://www.theenvironmentalblog.org/2024/10/puerto-rico-trash-problem/

Having said that, he does make fun of racial stereotypes. He's a comedian after all. Racism is about treating people differently because of their race/origin/etc. Not about making fun of a stereotype. Is he racially insensitive? Maybe... But how sensitive are you supposed to be, especially as a comedian? Are jokes about race, religion, etc. just out of the question?

Do people seriously believe that this joke (or any of the others) was said out of racism and hate towards the people of Puerto Rico?

Ridiculous. This is one of the reasons I think Kamala and Democrats in general are likely to suffer big losses this time around. To them EVERYTHING is about racism...It's getting old. There is real racism in the world but not everything is about hate. I think Biden's response about Trump supporters being garbage is much worse. He isn't joking.
