hey how come ppl are linking to that thing from 2006 when lil' mont used it in 1997. seems kinda suspect someone would link to the predominantly white ny times and ignore an icon most americans are aware of like lil' mont.

I see white lawn jockey ornaments and think, yeah, I guess it's an improvement over the black lawn jockey ornaments, but it still rubs me the wrong way. What's the idea or concept being conveyed? "Remember back in olden days when you'd have men in uniform stand around holding the horses? They were usually blacks forced into servitude, but here's an effigy offered in white."
Maybe I'm off. Maybe it goes back to Scottish times when white people held their horses. Maybe not though.
― pplains, Thursday, 29 May 2014 17:21 (ten years ago) link
I think they mostly exist so that old white people can say "Remember when those things used to be black? Can't get away with that anymore ho ho"

I have an honest ITR: a friend of mine believes that any celebration involving the breaking of a piñata is inherently racist, unless it is a celebration entirely by and for Mexican people. This had never occurred to me before, but I'd be perfectly happy to accept that it is correct. Do you agree with my friend or not?
My huge almost-entirely-white extended family has included a piñata at our family reunion / Christmas celebration every year for decades in a manner that had previously seemed to me to be free of its historical cultural context (the piñata is not a traditional or stereotypical shape or color, there is no obvious element of "Mexican blackface" surrounding the breaking of it: no costumes, no broken spanish is spoken, etc).
― Dan I., Friday, 6 June 2014 03:00 (nine years ago) link
What prompted this specifically was this event , which I'd thought it might be fun to go to, before my friend objected.

― Dan I., Friday, 6 June 2014 03:18 (nine years ago) link
wikipedia lol suggests that the pinata has roots in chinese, european and mesoamerican tradition, & that the word itself is of italian origin. similar traditions exist all over the world. never heard anyone suggest that the pinata is the reserved and sacred cultural property of mexicans, but i suppose i wouldn't know.
― riot grillz (contenderizer), Friday, 6 June 2014 03:44 (nine years ago) link
Ha, no fucking way is this racist. If it is, I'll be sure to tell the Hispanic owner of the party store we get our annual birthday piñatas from, that sorry, his products are racist when purchased by people who look like my family.
― pplains, Friday, 6 June 2014 04:16 (nine years ago) link
there is plenty of racist bullshit that happens when white people throw cinco de mayo parties but a pinata used by white people is not inherently racist imo. if they wear sombreros and fake mustaches while swatting at the pinata, it's a different story though
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 13:22 (nine years ago) link
thinking a pinata at a party is inherently racist is kind of getting us to a point where cultural exchange should be shut down entirely

The main reason I asked was that I kind of felt where my friend was coming from w/r/t the pinata breaking being part of a cinco de mayo party called "Cinco de Mayhem" that was attended almost 100% by non-Mexican white people. I was just conflicted because I have such fond feelings about my family's Christmas pinata, but I thought I might have, like, a racial blind spot the way Dutch people do about Sinterklaas' 6 to 8 black assistants
