About
You Just Insulted My Entire Race Of People, followed by either But Thank You or But Yes, refers to the caption on a series of image macros consisting of screenshots taken from a 2020 comedy special by comedian and actor Jimmy O. Yang. The screenshots saw considerable use as image macros on Reddit starting in April 2021 in self-aware jokes about common stereotypes.
Origin
On May 8th, 2020, streaming service Amazon Prime released comedian Jimmy O. Yang's comedy special Good Deal. During the special, Yang tells a joke about a woman telling him after sex, "Jimmy, I'm just glad the stereotype's not true; you don't have a small penis," to which he answers, "Bitch, you understand you just insulted my entire race of people? But thank you." The clip can be seen at timestamp 1:15 in the trailer for the special (shown below).
On April 19th, 2021, Redditor u/SWSealex posted an image macro to /r/memes[1] with top text reading, "Her: oh, you're from Sweden? I love pewdiepie and meatballs. Me:" followed by two images of Jimmy O. Yang saying, "You Just Insulted My Entire Race Of People, But Thank You." The post gained over 56,700 upvotes in four days (shown below).
