I honestly don't have an issue with it
As you said, news that happened.
It's just that I as someone who came across the clip, without knowing any backstory, it didn't paint the locals in the best light, and conveyed the usual stereotypes. My reaction was more from embarrassment than humor (I find it hard to laugh at people b/c of their life circumstance).
Probably an overly sensitive take on my part but that was my initial reaction. Then there's also my personal bias about the whole social media/meme culture scene ('nothing good ever bubbles up from there!")
