Using a mixed methods approach, this article explores factors that contribute to undergraduate students' beliefs about the harm caused by racist and sexist jokes. Quantitative results indicate that, net of other demographic control variables, college men are less likely to agree that sexist and racist jokes are harmful. Qualitative findings shed light on this pattern via a process we call neutralized hegemonic banter. By connecting students' perspectives about the perceived harm caused by racist and sexist jokes with their larger campus experiences, we extend the literature and demonstrate the role that hegemonic masculinity plays in normalizing racist and sexist joking.

中和的霸权玩笑：大学生中性别歧视和种族主义玩笑的持续存在

本文使用一种混合方法的方法，探讨了导致大学生对种族主义和性别歧视笑话造成的危害的信念的因素。定量结果表明，除其他人口统计学控制变量外，大学男子不太可能认同性别歧视和种族主义笑话是有害的。定性的发现通过我们称为中和的霸权玩笑的过程阐明了这种模式。通过将学生对种族主义和性别歧视笑话造成的感知伤害的观点与他们较大的校园经历联系起来，我们扩展了文献，并证明了霸权男性气质在规范种族主义和性别歧视笑话中的作用。
