    At this point I’m not sure if I’m too much racist or too much woke, because I absolutely don’t understand what is the meaning of the joke. Is German a race now? Or are Asians (race?) supposed to hate pretzels for some reason?

      It’s just a meme that is used when someone stereotypes a group of people (not intending to offend), but the stereotype is is accurate.

      basically “how dare you stereotype us, but also yes”.

        But he’s really describing Germans as a race? I feel like my grandfather when I was talking to him about playing Sonic

        Edit: I get it now, thanks for your effort

      The original joke is that someone asks the Asian guy if he likes some stereotypical Asian foods (I forget, like ramen or moon cake).

      The Asian dude says that same line about how his people are insulted but he does actually like the food. It’s a pretty funny bit actually.

      This meme is just swapping the Asian for German but it keeps the 2nd half of the meme, about the comedian’s race, the same. You’re right, German is not a race.
