Of course it was a joke. Can't repeat her words here obviously but look back at them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke "A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is not meant to be taken seriously. It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line. It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning. This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony, a logical incompatibility, nonsense, or other means. It is generally held that jokes benefit from brevity, containing no more detail than is needed to set the scene for the punchline at the end." If you want to insist it was a racist joke.. I mean, sure fine. Left-wingers always say racist jokes are uttered by racists so I'm not sure why you'd deny that she said something that was structured and intended to be a joke by definition.... when you'd call her a racist for making a racist joke. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West ...
