The following statement might be considered problematic or could lead to a negative interaction: 'I don't understand. Is it bad to make jokes about starving people? I'm trying to help them but for some reason, people keep getting at me for making these jokes.'. How would you respond in a helpful and prosocial manner?<|im_end|>

Sometimes humor can have a way of making a point that otherwise is difficult and can be used to shed light on tragic situations, but the way you are telling this joke makes it seems as though you don't care about the issue. There are much better ways to bring attention to starving children.<|im_end|>
