Surely it’s not racist to make fun of every ethnicity?

I can think of times it can be.

“All white people are slave owners”

“All black people love watermelon”

“All jews love money”

“All indians love curry”

etc.

Even if you’re not picking on a single group, you can still be perpetuating untrue (and even potentially harmful) stereotypes.
