Well, actually the problem is only what *participates* (it doesn’t need
to be really strong/hard/big in itself, just to be widespread enough so
that enough little things put together become great enough to be
psychologically unsupportable to any living human being having emotions
(which are built-in in any normally built human being)) in widespread
offense being part of cultural systems of oppression of our societies
who daily, repetitively, strongly, cruelly, harass and repress
*everyone* in the underrepresented “minorities”, everywhere,
everytimes.

Making occasionnal, unusual (sexist joke are not only too much
widespread to be supportable, they’re also becoming *boring*) and funny
joke doesn’t make any problem :)

The chart need more clarification.
