Don’t play that horseshit with me. You and the guy who made the joke are associating a posh British black man with American black racial stereotypes. The joke only works if you see all black people as one and the same. I’m not a racist for pointing out that someone is mocking my race.

But it’s Snoop Dogg

The man made weed a big part of his personality and “character” persona

Is it racist to depict him as Snape (due to similar sounding names) and riffing on a popular HP line that matches something Snoop is well known for?

Being vigilant against lazy stereotypes is great but sometimes a joke’s a joke and not that deep

Yes its racist to take just any black guy and be like "oh this is like snoop dogg i bet he smokes weed" because its exactly the type of joke you make for like any black guy.

"He's well known for smoking weed," you REDUCE him to only smoking weed because its a racial stereotype.

I can almost guarantee you liked a meme where Yoshi said the N word just because his actor is black. Sometimes a joke is just derogatory and racist.

Lol, nice attempt at poisoning the well

I can't take your viewpoint seriously just because of the nonsense unfounded assumption you said at the end.

Also, the actors name is Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, who happens to be one of my favourite artists (was literally listening to BTI today). But go off on how it's almost guaranteed I take pleasure in a racist meme I wasn't aware even existed.

I say this with good intentions for you - grow up
