If someone with coprolalia is involuntarily induced to say the most awful, inappropriate thing possible in a given situation, doesn’t shouting slurs show that they aren’t racist?

Someone who is deeply racist would presumably consider racial slurs to be neutral statements, and not actually care about who they are offending. I wonder if that would actually steer the coprolalia away from racial slurs and toward something else that one has internalized as truly “offensive”.

A racist knows that the slurs are offensive. He knows that people will be hurt by it.

He may also use the term even when he doesn't intend to harm people -- just as you might casually use otherwise-offensive words for excretion or copulation. But you don't use them in polite company because you know that they bother people.

So what?

One of the greatest entertainers of the country I'm living in once said: "Every minority deserves a joke, too." (my translation) Afterwards, when asked if he had limits: "People who cannot defend themselves. That would be to easy."

I'm skeptical about people being very "p.c.". That's often the same group bad mouthing when they assume only their (assumed) peers are listening.

It depends whether its coming from a position of hate/ignorance and power or not.

Here its clearly punching down without the first attempt to empathise and understand.

What we are seeing here is so-called progressive (your "pc") comedians braying to the crowd; it's ugly and hypocritical.

It is too easy, which is why I don't find it funny.

But often, people don't seem to mind telling "easy" jokes... perhaps because they don't have the requisite wit to invent difficult ones.

Minorities have their own jokes. They don't need you to invent ones for them. If you're close enough to members of the minority, they'll tell you the jokes. If you're not in on the existing jokes, it implies that you're not in a position to be making up ones for them.

it seems pretty clear to me they are not making fun of people with tourettes but instead imagining that people who have been cancelled who dont have tourettes might try to use it as an excuse to get out of their mistakes.

still a rough sketch regardless.
