What does "people who talk" even mean here? I gather it's supposed to parallel "people who joke about the 'funny' names of people different from them", but how does the phrase end?

Sorry, not my mother language. I meant "people who meet and talk to each other"

Are you really asking why the line is drawn between "just making harmless jokes" and "making jokes at the expense of another group"? You don't have to agree, but I think the difference and why someone would suggest that's where the line should be drawn is obvious.
