At this point I'm not sure if I'm too much racist or too much woke, because I absolutely don't understand what is the meaning of the joke. Is German a race now? Or are Asians (race?) supposed to hate pretzels for some reason?
It's just a meme that is used when someone stereotypes a group of people (not intending to offend), but the stereotype is is accurate.
basically "how dare you stereotype us, but also yes".
But he's really describing Germans as a race? I feel like my grandfather when I was talking to him about playing Sonic
Edit: I get it now, thanks for your effort
Yeah "Culture and our people" would fit better here
The original joke is that someone asks the Asian guy if he likes some stereotypical Asian foods (I forget, like ramen or moon cake).
The Asian dude says that same line about how his people are insulted but he does actually like the food. It's a pretty funny bit actually.
This meme is just swapping the Asian for German but it keeps the 2nd half of the meme, about the comedian's race, the same. You're right, German is not a race.
Ah OK OK, thanks for taking the time to dumb it down.
I changed it. Old sample is in the comments.
Vielen Dank mein sehr geehrter Schweinehund (sorry for bad German! 😊)
Das ist kein schlechtes Deutsch. Da fehlt nur ein Beistrich, aber den hätten viele Deutsche auch weggelassen
Besser ist das.
You're American so your concept of race is based on skin color rather than nationality.
I'm American now? Fuck! Thanks Obama, I guess
Fucking Obama man. Just changing people's nationalities!
