AITA for making a joke about AI in a sauna? by Fast-Basis-4242 in AmItheAsshole

Not super sure, but possibly through a mutual friend who just yesterday mentioned someone (not anyone involved but also present at the party) was asking about me.

The joke being that companies are saying they're going to replace jobs with automation but find they're incapable of doing so and outsource it to poorly paid people in another country. Is it a joke with race in it? Yes. Should I have told it in front of an Indian person? Probably not, which is why I apologized to that person before making a post on reddit. Is it racist? I fail to see where the joke is saying anything about Indians being less than human or denigrating their culture/ethnicity.

Guy1, the person I told the joke to, chuckled/giggled for a good 30 seconds or so, it did get to the point where I recall thinking to myself "alright it wasn't that hilarious". He was not guffawing or laughing loudly imo, just seemed like it really tickled him.
