And you know what another dangerous meme is? Humour. You can make offensive and degrading remarks about pretty much anything.

But no one wants to admit they are not infected with the humour meme.

Humor isn’t harmful. There were no genocides in the name of humor. It doesn’t destroy peoples lives. It doesn’t promote unhealthy behaviors, and doesn’t cripple peoples’ ability to understand the reality around them.
Nonsense. The preperation for the Holocaust was the "humourous" depictions of "the Jew".

You must be aware of examples from your own culture also.
