If you remove the “positives” trash and word the end so it’s pointed at the bigots instead it could work as observational comedy. Obviously I’m not confident to make it snappy enough to be a good joke, but the material is there.

Something like: why do Euros hate talking about Roma victims of the holocaust? Cause no one likes to be put on spot admitting how much Nazi shit they actually liked.

It’s pretty meh, but I’m not wasting energy trying to make it work and sure as he’ll am not dying on this hill. Maybe you’re right and the whole thing is unsalvageable.

i see what you’re saying, but I think that’s too charitable a take.

I think you’re getting me wrong. I don’t for a minute believe that this is the joke Carr wanted to make or his audience laughed at. They’re all just racist trash. I’m just pointing out with the right wording and audience, the same observation could turn the joke upside down and make it much more poignant.
