And before they did, my manager joked "We about to get robbed", and laughed.

I just responded with "That's not funny!".

I can see you're confused. Not surprised. That comment deleted was my own and was simply because I didn't want this topic in my posting history. As you're writing your own narrative though I feel the need to correct you so my plan was foiled yet again.

If you are gonna make a racist joke at least make it funny

A failed racist joke just makes you look like an unfunny racist, especially with something so unoriginal

I don't see a major issue with those or the ones comedians do. It all depends the context really.

Did they use a coupon or two for one type of super saver deal?

if they did and didnt buy any soda then the odds are the cost of the ingredients of the pizza didnt equal the cost the family paid.

although Im pretty sure a manager who is making that statement and assuming a black couple is paying with a coupon as opposed to a white couple paying w a coupon (unless they were waiving it around) would even have the brains to know the financial workings of the store and cost of sales and promotions of food items vs drink item mark up and such.

im just bored and making this more detailed tha it should be.

I think after 400 years, Black have heard all of the insults, jokes and derogatory remarks White can make about them. It's probably moot to them at this point but having said that, it's still stupid to make jokes along racial lines about any group but that's just me.

Racist jokes are often funny. And part of this has to do with their racism. Many Polish jokes, for example, may easily be converted into moron jokes but are not at all funny when delivered as such. Consider two answers to 'What has an I.Q. of 100? (a) a nation of morons; or (b) Poland. Similarly, jokes portraying Jews as cheap, Italians as cowards, and Greeks as dishonest people get on in the world. But they are less funny as such (at least if one is not Jewish, Greek or Italian). As this suggests, racist humor is 'put down' humor. We laugh, in part, because we find put-downs funny, sometimes even if they are about us. In many texts, this tendency is relatively harmless; indeed, within reason, it can be therapeutic to join others in a good laugh at oneself. Why, then, all the commotion about racist humor?

It's not a joke if the subject of it isn't laughing. Then it's just being an asshole.

Some folk have difference sense of humour. However I do agree to not carry on said joke if it's only you who is laughing or it's bothering the subject of the joke. It's best to know your audience before telling a joke.

It's best to just not tell any racist, homophoboc, etc jokes to begin with.

I firmly believe that no one is a bad guy when people say, laugh, and tell jokes that might be considered offensive, and those that are or might be offended arent bad guys either, and they shouldn't be mad at those that do them in the first place.

But that still doesn't mean that we should advocate for anyone to do these jokes to begin with, because not everyone wants to hear them, and we outta do them the courtesy and be polite and not joke about them.

I don't know. Black & Jewish jokes are career enders unless you are of those groups. Too much bad history both can bring up to shame you, e.g. slavery & the holocaust. Best to stay away from them.
