  • Oh jeez, your comment reminded me of something.

    My boyfriend used to tell the following joke: “Have you heard about the Mexican magician? He counted from uno to dos, then disappeared without a tres (trace).”

    It definitely has a “had me in the first half” racist vibe, while not actually being problematic. Except one time he told it to someone who turned out to actually be an idiot racist. He was too stupid to understand the language pun, but heard “Mexican” in a joke and took it as an opening to tell some truly racist “jokes.”

    I’ll sometimes tell the joke still by modifying it to “Spanish-speaking magician,” but I am very intentional about my audience after that experience.



  • My partner loves it; I have not been willing to change my habits to use it.

    One thing that I appreciate about them as a business is that if you don’t use it for a month, they don’t charge you. The subscription stays active, but doesn’t cost you anything until you start using it again. Makes it a low-risk subscription to get! (Please confirm they still do this, but it is how it worked when he signed up!)
