Race is relevant because it’s the point of the joke (he’s racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn’t relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I’d forward it to HR with the note “hey just file this one away, you don’t need to act on it right now but you’re definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later”.
What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?
There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.
Okay, that’s a fair point as to that comment not making it more sexist than racist, but not for it only being racist. I don’t see anything in the story pointing to race over sex.
this is supposed to be one of those “take that, racist prick” stories. these are pretty common
Isn’t it supposed to be like those riddles where the answer is that the doctor’s a woman?
The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
It’s just a picture of a woman?
Probably something horny and vaguely racist.
Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you’re spot on with #3.

I refuse to believe that you don’t already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don’t have an inkling about 3

To me it reads as both
That just depends on the order of attributes you prefer to use to refer to a person.
For me gender or age would usually come first rather than race

I would argue that mentioning race at all is what makes it more of a racist thing.
Like, why say that woman was black at all then?
But it’s all just semantics, it’s a fake story that has both aspects in it, and it doesn’t really matter if it’s one or the other
3, beautiful woman on leather chair glows like an angel
Duh
Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.
