Punching Up

A term used to describe an act, typically a joke or comedic skit is used by people within marginalized communities to softly jab at a group of more powerful, privileged, or less marginalized people. the person being jabbed at is typically characterized by being of higher wealth or status, white, cisgender or heterosexual, or a native-born, or a combination of all these things.
This can be used as a political statement, peaceful revolt, or just a way to cope by using laughter.

"Damn, imagine being a cishet white male."
"Punching Up I see."
