Understood - this may be privilege at play here. I’ve mentioned before I think that some of the best humor is the kind that has an element of discomfort (science backs this up, too). There’s also a very fine line that’s all too easy to cross.
I can laugh at a black comedian making white people jokes, or a woman making jokes at the expense of men. The inverse of these scenarios on the other hand is nearly impossible to pull off and not sound like a horrible person even if you’re clearly not serious. That takes a lot of skill and most comedians can’t do this.
I find it much easier to appreciate humor with an aspect of “punching up” versus “punching down.”
