    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.
