Definitions tagged seriedad in the street dictionary.

humor negro

A style of comedy that targets physical, cultural, and racial traits, often pushing the boundaries of xenophobia or homophobia. While some see it as harmless, others believe certain sensitive topics are off-limits for jokes. Its acceptability depends entirely on the setting and the audience (in Argentina, the phrase, con eso no se jode, is a common way to say some things are not to be messed with).

Don't do humor negro because my mom doesn't like it. She says she prefers clean humor.
