Patrick Bateman judges the burger

Text on the meme

Bacon cheeseburgers are prime white man's food. Jews can't eat bacon. Muslims can't eat bacon. Indians can't eat beef. Other non-whites will probably get sick from cheese due to lactose intolerance.

What it means

A short video shows Patrick Bateman from American Psycho staring blankly beneath a social-media post claiming that bacon cheeseburgers are ideal food for white men while listing why other groups supposedly cannot eat them. The joke comes from the deadpan, increasingly racist generalization paired with Bateman’s emotionless reaction, making it useful as a darkly ironic reaction to absurd or offensive takes. The audio uses “Memory Reboot (Slowed Cover)” by Extella & OPIUM DEMON, a slowed atmospheric electronic/synthwave track whose ominous, melancholic mood intensifies the uncomfortable punchline and Bateman’s vacant stare.
