Thanks, G! I've always read this thread as "Rolling This is Racist . . ." util now. Anyway, I can't believe this was a real thing. "Dinnertimin'" is pretty great though, it's true.

Could imagine Tracy Jordan using that line.

I kind of feel like the whole patronising Orientalism thing is racist, but the clearly hyperbolic "I want to skin them and wear them" isn't. Unless it's playing to a stereotype I've never heard of?

the inside of japanese ppl's skin is stereotypically soft like cashmere

their skin is particularly buoyant so I can see why this would be troubling to whiney

btw if you watch the vid, it's not racist

I didn't watch the vid because the article contradicted itself in the space of like three sentences

saddened that only on cynical ol' ILX would a poster aimed at black people that makes a virtue of "there's no tipping" be considered racist

I am going to an "Indian themed" party hosted by Very Rich, landowner, boarding school people tonight. It is fancy dress. The possibilities are endless. This family once had dwarfs serving drinks. I am extremely worried.

(I looked at her timeline and it's so full of obnoxious shit that I wonder if it's some weird sock puppet trolling exercise - either way the fact she has 46,000 followers is mindboggling)

is that somebody notable or are we going to document every troll there is now

thanks for posting that, it was really something I needed to see
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Well, now we need to decide if it's racist or not.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
Personally, I vote yes.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
truly there is some amount of debate that can be had about whether that Twitter post is racist or not, it's certainly unclear and deserves some unpacking
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
I think we need to speculate about the intentions of the author. Maybe it was just a made out of ignorance, and we don't have the right context to understand what they were getting at.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry DJP. Someone RT'd it in disbelief and I was staggered by it because of the number of followers but it was unnecessary. Mods can delete if they want. I sometimes forget that ignoring is an option. My fuck-up.

okay, so there is no "is this racist?" question with this material and it's probably long since discussed on one of the politics threads i avoid, but i hadn't heard of it and i kinda thunk dan would be amazed if he hadn't either so FEAST YOUR EYES on 40 pages of tea party comixhttp://www.ep.tc/tea-party-comix/02.htmlmore info and 'artist statement' here
