I wouldn’t call it “understanding” if you assume a meaning to a word that doesn’t have that meaning.
It’s funny in the same way as native Americans saying “ugh”. If you’re ignorant, you laugh. If you aren’t, you facepalm. A joke that just makes its teller look like an ignorant idiot who is happy to trample other cultures is not a joke that should me made.
This is a strawman argument and has nothing to do with either the original saying, the translated saying, nor the post here. No one is trying to make anyone look ignorant, you just didn’t get the post and are willing to die on this hill apparently.
