I had to stop thinking about "being productive" years ago I was spending too much time worrying about how I was spending my time

either way I'm kind of upset at how this thread has gone, in part because I'm realizing that saying "friends talking shit to each other" has translated to everyone else as "white guys trying to perpetuate stereotypes" which I guess is something I kinda deserve, but also because I'm starting to see how inarticulate I can be and how that's causing everyone to think I'm walking around cracking jokes about fried chicken and math homework

I was in the middle of trying to figure out what the clusterfuck was about when I was pulled up abruptly by this.
besides some references to things more deep-seeded in black culture
NOT "DEEP-SEEDED." THE PHRASE IS "DEEPLY SEATED." "DEEP-SEEDED" IS THE RESULT OF PEOPLE HEARING THINGS WRONG AND THEN TYPING AS THOUGH THEY HAD UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY HEARD. THANK YOU.

Americans, please tell me what to make of this from a Murdoch tabloid:
WHAT does the self-titled "new king of pop" do on his day off, you might ask? Well, shop, of course.While his contemporaries tend to head out for a fried chicken feed, Big Day Out headliner Kanye West made a beeline for Sydney's fashion hub within hours of landing.

i thought maybe "fried chicken feed" was some weird australian junk food that's sold at food stands at fairs and festivals where they put actual chicken feed in a fryer and kanye's contemporaries here were a bunch of aussie bands playing the festival

Its blatantly saying "while other black rappers would go and eat fried chicken, Kanye be shoppin".
And that is the most fucking embarrasing thing Ive ever read but then again it is a Murdoch paper so why am I even suprised.

While the other black-fellas would rather go eat watermelon, the star of the minstrel show prefers to go cakewalking in his choicest finery:, a black derby hat, a carnation conspicuous in his button hole, a polka-dotted ascot and white gloves.

Ah no I totally get that, but I hadn't clicked through to the article, so when someone posted the Sydney Confidential image, I though they were saying the picture was racist! Lots of "Is it the weird C-crossed-with-quote-marks?"

I'm working on a project that falls under Washington DC's Chinatown zoning overlay and has a bunch of signage requirements that go with it. This is an example from the design guidelines of what the city thinks is a good and appropriate sign in 2012:

Home of the Verizon Center! And Fuddrucker'a! And, apparently, one apartment building filled with elderly immigrant Chinese.
I would describe that Ming's signage design as more as stereotypical than racist, in that it doesn't carry any genuinely negative imagery. Ain't nothing inferior about chopsticks. They're used daily by a couple billion people. The typeface is also ugly as sin and stereotyped, but it is based on the look of calligraphic brushstrokes, which seems legit, although very poorly done.
You seem to associate these things with truly racist images, like exaggerated "r" for "l" accents, comical slant-eyes and buck teeth, but taken as themselves they just look like crappy design to me, not racism.
