Racism

Seems more than likely, actually.

Probably, if you live in America.

Not really. No.

Actually America is one of the least countries in the world. According to this at least. http://manilastandardtoday.com/2013/05/21/survey-reveals-worlds-most-racist/

Wait. She's racist about a black cat. What's racist in finding the irony funny?

She's not racist, and what he find funny isn't irony...

Per say - yes but isn't treating cats by their color similar to racism, despite it coming from superstition.

If it isn't irony - what is it then, half-irony?

You should ask Paul Mooney that question.

Superstition =/ racism, it's stupid to call it such, and to clarify "black" is not a race in the cat world.

It's not irony, as I said it's racism and as black isn't a race for cats it's not ironic.

It's not stupid okay. maybe a little but both are bias, conclusions ascociated with colour. And just cause of the similarity some find it ironic. But that wasn't the initial point. Why is it racist to find her reaction funny? Or do you mark any observation concerning with the colour of skin as racism?

No.

The humor he finds is entirely due to her race, if she was any other color it would mean nothing to him. So yes, in this case the fact that it's amusing to him based on her race is racism. While you maintain that it's simply an "observation" observations can be racist by nature.

If you put it like that I agree. I was looking at it in a more mild fashion, like she's prejudiced about a cat while there's a scarier prejudice about her. Sense any racism in the way I put it?

But it's not about her, the fact that he finds it humorous is the issue at hand. His original question was to determine his culpability in the matter, not whether her superstition is justified.

Excessive conclusion on your part. I wasn't mentioning whether her reaction is justified. I'm also focused on the culpability issue here. My outlook above was the way I read the joke in the first place. I didn't feel racist about it and you did. But as you pointed another outlook, I guess your take on it fits Takerial perfectly.

I don't understand how you could have misinterpreted it.

It's still funny.

And I don't know why you can't admit the irony in the joke.

You don't know what irony is.
