I personally find it funny at face-value but the joke does get ruined for me because, as you say, it's just a veil for certain beliefs. I used to enjoy a lot more of Aronson's work until I realized he was just strawmanning the views he disagreed with. I had previously thought it was just good-natured ribbing.
For an actual funny (and not so "blah blah SJWs ruining everything") version of this joke, the tv show Atlanta does a much more entertaining version of it, you can find it if you search "transracial".
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoIt's ruined because you don't like Scott Adams but the Atlanta clip (which is good, thanks for sharing) is funny because you like Donald Glover? I like both spins on the joke as well as both comedians.
- hn_user82179 4y agoI actually don’t know Donald Glover’s political views, but I do know Scott Adams’s political views because he’s very outspoken about them and he keeps complaining about “cancel culture”. In general, I’m pretty tired of comedians making low-effort jokes and then going on about how they’re going to be cancelled because they’re “so edgy” - it’s just trying to get a rise out of people. That’s what Adams seems to be trying to do here. He also posted a bunch of tweets about how he was going to get cancelled for that strip and it just made me roll my eyes.
