Though usually said as a joke, I’m serious when I say parent comment should be an example in the dictionary under “victim blaming”.

Victim? The joke was that they persuaded them to be racists.

> they persuaded them to be racists

Once again, please stop insinuating things that are a. untrue and b. you cannot possibly verify (were you in the uber rides with me?) just because of your preconceived notions and biases that you'd like to be true.

the joke is about the "end up" part of your original post. as in, they were not racists until you talked to them.

it's just a joke...

You missed the "The joke was" at the start of the quote.

It was funny, but it took me a second.

edit: you should leave it alone, though. People only move from mad because they misunderstood the joke to even madder for you not making the joke easier to get. They won't relax if you keep digging.
