As an awkward and shy person, I would nervously laugh, though it wouldn't be real, but otherwise keep my thoughts to myself. I would think that it was wrong and that this shouldn't have been a joke. If I was a lot less soft - spoken, I would lash out at the person, berating them for make such a joke about a problem that has always facing our society and is unable to be solved. But I'm not, so I sit quietly and stew.
