TF is going on in this comment chain? Jokes aren’t jokes, double down on racism or white guilt or even real racism and biases… what a disaster.

A bunch of morons who never read a history book. Obvious joke about trade and colonization for spices and they're losing their shit

The real answer is that "white" isn't really a race. It's a socioeconomic in-group that exists to other those who aren't collectively agreed to be a part of it. Over time, a formerly racialized group may achieve "whiteness" via assimilation, like the Irish, Italian, and Jewish populations in America.

You're missing the point. The point is that their roommate was white, and therefore responsible for the actions of every member of their race reaching back for as long as the punchline requires. It's a funny joke, because if you do it with another skin color you are cancelled.
Oh, here I thought it was a history joke in the same vein as saying "My American roommate moved out and took all the oil with him. How do I tell him it's just cooking oil?"
Clearly this is actually a condemnation of the roommate's Inferior White Bloodline and his Ancestral Guilt.
As a white guy who takes spices seriously: hahahaha.
Why are you getting your panties in a bunch?
