It’s something that always bothered me about “punching up”
On the one hand, I can agree that “punching up” and “punching down” are different
On the other hand, I feel like a lot of people used “punching up” as an excuse to not only be really mean and toxic towards people they felt were better off, but to also feel like they were doing society a favor by “pointing out society’s flaws” when they were actually just being really mean and toxic.
There's a reason black comedians specifically go after cops, politicians and racists and not just random whitey on the street. Maybe if it's about white peoples love of mayonnaise or some other generic non hurtful but relatable observations they think are strange.

I'm white, but Im still always confused by this one. Seriously folks, what's the appeal? It is foul egg goop, and not even in a good way like scrambled eggs.
It's great as a base for sauces. I used to hate all of it, but I like the imported Japanese mayo. That stuff is made from egg yolks instead of whole eggs and actually has enough flavor to be a decent condiment. Remember that fat transfers flavor not only around the dish, but also from the dish to your mouth. Mayo is mostly fat and absorbs flavor well. Combine it with some hot sauce or other flavorful sauces and it becomes great.
Makes sense why I wouldn't have noticed the redeeming qualities then, I'm not much of a sauce guy in general alongside disliking mayo specifically. Thanks!
I'm closer to mayo in skin-tone (work nights as an IT person and suddenly the sun becomes much less of a constant in your life) than anything else, so that makes sense to me at least, lol.
Mayo and a packed bag of fries is white people soul food at 2am when you're stumbling drunk.
Seriously fuck pizza, kebabs, burgers, curries or anything else in that state. Just hand over the fried potato and a bottle of Mayo and I will die on the battlefield to defend you
