Last names are usually determined by the profession of one's ancestors: the Smiths were smiths, the Taylors were tailors, etc.

Imagine burning so much fish they name you after it.

Like if your progeny got the last name "Doesn'tgetjokes."

I mean I figured it had something to do with burning fish but what does that have to do with being black? Trying to say they were slave cooks or something?

That was an additional punchline thrown in for a shock chuckle. That's why I hid it behind a spoiler.

To dissect the joke- I wanted to make fun of the opinions of racists by presenting an absurdization of a racist opinion.

Mine means "Salmon" if you go back a bit and "Sea owner" if you go back far enough. I'm guessing we owned a lot of coastline at some point and then eventually just became fishermen or something.
