its good that you felt bad and apologized at least. still kinda wanna know how bad it was in the first place, but maybe just think about why you said it and try to unlearn that bias

My friend group has all races in it. We make questionable jokes at times.. There’s a fine line between stereotypical jokes, and actual racism. 🤷‍♂️
