But perhaps too close to reality to be really funny…?

Spot on, but too close to the mark to be funny per se.

Mr Johnson never thought the rules that he introduced actually applied to him.

A German friend I forwarded this to says it’s “ever so slightly racist”. Gosh! Hadn’t even occurred to me that way at all. I just saw the UK PM is toast well done. My Tamil friend is a lawyer in Singapore and is very dark skinned but she saw it as funny.
Crickey! Now we can be slightly racist without even meaning to be.

Maybe they don’t get the meaning of the term “he/she/it’s toast”? It’s perhaps a bit succinct compared to German, which probably has exactly the same term but with 47 letters in it, as in “itisthebreadthathasbeenovercookedinthe toasterandisnowuseless”. 
Forward this to them too…

Meanwhile a bit of humour from Labour. Well, it would be funny if it wasn’t all true.

And very good it is too! Thanks for the heads-up.

The racism was in his interpretation rather than the meaning in English.

As I posted it, I wondered who would be first 
and I guess I can see the point if you haven’t got the context and don’t know the idiom.
I’d be tempted to gently point out to your friend that they made the connection between the colour of someone’s skin and the colour of toast and ask who’s the racist, but I’m mischievous that way.
