This is insulting to my people. Dark humor is an art form. You're equally shitty to every walk of life. It's basically the most woke thing you can do. Dark humor is about the fact that the sheer existance of terms like "racism" or "mysoginy" is inherently funny. Just like it's funny to watch monkeys throw their own feces at each other. It's not for everyone. I wouldn't go around and imitate that by throwing my own feces at people, that would not go well, but to find a way to do it or mention it in conversation and crack a chuckle or a sigh while doing it, that's the art of it.
It's also a pretty useful coping mechanism. One of my fav "dark humour" types is Robert Evans, and he manages not to punch down with it.
So you're being unequitable.
"The law in its majestic equality forbids both the rich and the poor from sleeping under bridges" type shit.
"You can make a dark joke, but you must not think it"
