I just think it isn’t super on-topic, being a nerdy programmer jokes community, and if the programmer joke requires referencing bigotry to work, then maybe it isn’t that great of a joke.

Technology is political. If we limit humor here to be exclusively word-play about obscure CS topics then this is going to get very boring very quickly. I feel for you if this rubbed you the wrong way but, particularly in today’s climate, we can’t flinch from stuff like this.
The enemy hates you. They despise you in ways that can scarcely be imagined. You must mock them at every turn.
