Am I wrong for laughing at this epilepsy joke about Karen the street magician?

My friend from high school, who was voted "class clown," imagined a scenario of Karen saying to Arnold and Sam, "Hey, I got a trick. Watch this" (referring to the ability to make her body twitch).

It would be wrong if you didn't laugh.

In that case, I don't feel bad for laughing at my friend also saying that Esther Rolle looks like a pumpkin dipped in chocolate. I can't for the life of me remember if he said that before or after she died. BTW, right before I read your reply, I saw your post about your assumption that "Diff'rent Strokes" was a porn. There is in fact a softcore film titled "Different Strokes" (correct spelling with no apostrophe) starring Dana Plato. You're welcome.

No, I think that is really an ignorant attempt at humor
it's Trump level stupid. Like when he was flailing his hands as if to say people with cerebral palsy are stupid because they have that tremor

As someone who didn't support Trump, I wouldn't look too much into it, since it's just a TV show and that the actress wasn't really epileptic, as opposed to the orange cheeto's remarks.
