I should design a userscript that completely removes the “social” feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I’ve ever seen.
- How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
- How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
- Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
-
The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
-
It’s just a picture of a woman?

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.
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
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
- Restaurant/bar owner black ladies called Albert Einstein. Its the first result on google image search.
How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
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.
Was the man’s name JD Vance?
Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??
Da fuk…
