It is important to maintain awareness of one's privilege when engaging in humorous conversations which may involve discriminatory or hurtful language. When possible, try to steer the conversation in a more productive direction and refrain from participating in conversations which involve making jokes at the expense of others. If it is impossible to do so, try joining the conversation with an ironic joke of your own. In doing this, you take a formerly negative situation and make it into a positive one by injecting some light-heartedness and understanding that can be felt by all participants

Joining conversations that make jokes about Black people can be challenging when maintaining political correctness. With an air of caution and sensitivity, one might consider saying something along the lines of "that joke didn't Land well with me, but I'm still part of the conversation".
