It's a taped TV show. Ever hear of laugh tracks or how these shows are made? To the extent there is an actual audience there in the age of covid hysteria, they all know when they are supposed to laugh on cue. There are literally signs telling them. It's basically fake, like you.

That doesn't explain why didn't at least one person boo or voice dissent. And yes, that can happen even on scripted television.

Of course it CAN happen, but that doesn't negate the fact this is a taped TV show that uses recorded audience reactions, can edit out reactions it doesn't want, and many of the "audience" are in fact various network/studio personnel, people that get paid a small sum to sit in an air conditioned studio and watch some famous people, and to the extent actually are real people, are basically star struck giddy tourists that go along with whatever they are supposed to laugh at.

Not to mention laughing at some joke doesnt mean you actually approve of something politically. White people can laugh at themselves or their situation. It's called gallows humor. I remember seeing an SNL segment that basically had white people having a demographic going out party. It was actually pretty funny for modern day SNL. The fact I thought it was funny doesnt mean what is happening isnt disturbing or wont have potentially catastrophic consequences for western civilization.

There is no reason to believe this was a laugh track or laugh signs. They film in front of live audiences. Live Bill Maher audiences have had similar reactions to anti-white gloating. It should be obvious from talking to whites that this was a genuine reaction.

When the punchline is literally "ha ha, there's fewer white people" how is that not tacit approval of it?

I don't see a scenario where Blacks or Asians would laugh at a similar joke made at their kind.
