I don't think jokes about people as a group in and of itself constitutes racism.
My grandfather owned a bbq restaurant in Atlanta in the 1950's and any black person whether they were a janitor or a doctor or Louis Armstrong could not sit in his restaurant. They would have to go to the back door to place their order and take it home. This was normal and an acceptable way to live back then. THAT is racism. Is there any push or popular call to do this to you?
You are not experiencing racism and Chris Rock is a man who tells jokes.
