falls into the same crap as that Trump thing imo, definitely racist bullshit

Trump, that guy. Pretty sure he's made a net of zero dollars, inflation factored in, from his inheritance. Among other travesties.
― d-_-b (mh), Friday, 26 October 2012 02:58 (eleven years ago) link
mh, i disagree. racism isn't just about effect and perception. it is about being a genuinely horrible and prejudiced specimen of humanity who is actually racist and actually discriminates. you just dont have to 'intend' to be that to pull it off.

That is what I said! No intent necessary.

Your intent means shit when your background is 100% privileged horseshit. You just spew garbage, no intent necessary.

look is there any possible way at ALL she would have used that term about a white person? not worth giving her any benefit of the doubt at all.

sarah palin is basically an IRL racist non-musically talented versh of a face in the crowd, except her "oops mic is on" moment was resigning as governor.

We're forgetting the gossip about Palin referring to Obama as 'Sambo' during the 2008 primaries? Probably true IMO.

never attribute to malice what can be explained by idiocy
then again, she's a malicious idiot, I am so on the fence here
― d-_-b (mh), Friday, 26 October 2012 21:03 (eleven years ago) link
The way she plays the 'I can't be racist, because I'm married to someone not totally white' card? What a crass bit of whataboutery.

I don't know firsthand, but this Palin's husband's part Eskimo sounds like how everyone around here who has a grandmother who was a quarter Cherokee.

palin thing's like the manifest destiny thing in that, while i can actually believe that sarah palin is uneducated enough to not know what "shuck and jive" means, her reaction to having it explained to her isn't "oh shit i had no idea i'm sorry" but an ultrasarcastic version of "fuck you liberal p.c. police for making a big deal out of something which as far as i can see totally doesn't matter at all, i will not consider the feelings or experiences of others and i certainly will not learn any history, stop telling me i can't say and do whatever i want all the time. next you'll be saying we can't talk about low temperatures amirite haha buymybook."
manifest destiny guy was a designer by profession and not a culture warrior so his version of this was more benignly phrased (who knows what words mean man, i have my own meaning and it resonates with me) which is less obnoxious but not really any better.

all of that is obv yes racist.

i am genuinely a little surprised that a company the size of Tesco thinks this shit is okay. can see a fairly high profile backlash happening if people pick up on this.

black face? i thought it was just excessive tan. like a tourist or something.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
this is a losing argument at this point but "blackface" is a specific thing and using the term to describe every instance where someone puts on brown makeup (which often can be offensive!) is stupid
― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
I think that was just that guy's natural skin color... I mean, if you're going to do blackface the point isn't to look like George Hamilton, rite?

idk man the one with the afro wig and bone necklace is pretty close to blackface, altho i guess they used red lipstick instead of white lipstick. obv i am using the term as shorthand, but yeah, i dont have a better quick term to go with.
