  1. How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
  2. How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
  3. Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

Race is relevant because it's the point of the joke (he's racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn't relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I'd forward it to HR with the note "hey just file this one away, you don't need to act on it right now but you're definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later".

  1. The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.

  2. It’s just a picture of a woman?

  3. Probably something horny and vaguely racist.

Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.

I should design a userscript that completely removes the "social" feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I've ever seen.

I can't set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.

Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
