If you know anything about the history of Oompa Loompas in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, these types of "humoristic" alert messages come across as ignorant and narrow-minded.

«In the first edition of Charlie (1964), the Oompa-Loompas are black pygmies who Wonka imports from “the deepest and darkest part of the African jungle” and enslaves in his factory.»

Sensitivity reading should ideally be made part of the design process.
