  1. How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
  2. How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
  3. Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

  1. The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.

  2. It’s just a picture of a woman?

  3. Probably something horny and vaguely racist.

Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you’re spot on with #3.

  1. It’s pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.

I refuse to believe that you don’t already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don’t have an inkling about 3

Race is relevant because it’s the point of the joke (he’s racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn’t relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I’d forward it to HR with the note “hey just file this one away, you don’t need to act on it right now but you’re definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later”.

What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?

There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.

To me it reads as both

He bought drinks for all the other non-black women in the bar, so gender doesn’t appear to factor into it for him.

That just depends on the order of attributes you prefer to use to refer to a person.

For me gender or age would usually come first rather than race

This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.

Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.

The story itself isn’t a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.

How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?

Maybe he’s targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).

Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

Ask him? His name is on the image.

The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.
