someone makes a joke about germans not having a sense of humor and you claim Germanity responding this way, iām not sure if youāre part of the joke or being joked about dude.
the most important part of humor is being able to laugh at yourself (itās where the best jokes come from). Germans not having a sense of humor is low hanging fruit, but like if you donāt want to be treated like a stereotype you canāt act like a stereotype.
Laughing at yourself as an individual, yes. Laughing at yourself as a person that belongs to a group like nationality, race, sexual orientation, no. Nobody should have to care about whether they fit someone elseās negative stereotype just because of their assumed nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity.

while i agree, we arenāt quite in an ideal world yet. so we do have to worry about fitting their stereotypes.
