There's still a hardcore of golly-fanciers out there. Not sure there's a a middle ground between owning none and owning fifty. They generally seem to be confused, but not particularly vindictive, people of pensionable age who can't see what all the fuss is about.

My parents used to be friends with a couple like this. Several rooms in their house were entirely decked out in golly art - painting, statues, dolls etc. They obv were the type of people you're describing but the one time I was in their house it really freaked me out. My mom warned me beforehand but it was still pretty jarring and very O_O to me.

hoooooly fuck i just remembered that my friend that i do not like got me one of those for christmas a few years ago because he was insistent that they aren't offensive in england (he took a semester abroad) and they were relevant in some comic book or something. this is the same friend who did blackface for halloween. fuck.

your friend sounds like a horrible, horrible person. who comes to this country and what they get out of it when they go back to the states is 'golliwogs aren't offensive there'

Yeah that basically describes my grandma who used to collect golly pins from Robinsons jam, she's got loads of them.

I thought I remembered a similar story but couldn't quite recall, so googled "racist receipt" and hey! It looks like this is a charming common practice among cashiers!

No, they are.
this is the same friend who did blackface for halloween
Why the fuck is this person your friend? I mean, even in a 'friend I don't like' capacity?

He added that the employee responsible for the receipt was a teen — who he believed was misguided by “hip hop culture.”
...and possibly violent video games.

I mean, to be fair, I've heard the phrase "chinky eyes" dozens upon dozens of times in my life and approximately 100% of these occurrances were rap songs

it's complicated because he's a part of our group of six high school friends who still hang out and consider ourselves a "group" and everyone else in the group is at least annoyed with him but still consider him a part of the group, etc. and he emphasizes the racist stuff around me because he knows it gets to me. he's just one of those typical nerds who will not hear ANYTHING about how their actions are wrong. i don't really see him anymore and decided to ditch him completely after the blackface thing, but it's proven v difficult when my four other friends just go "eh what can you do, that's just how max is"
actually al shipley you might know him irl, he writes for the citypaper

I think a lot of groups of friends have the one asshole who keeps being included for some unknown reason. Wild card? Reminds me of the Trainspotting thing where they describe what a sociopath Begbie was, and then they're all like, "What are you going to do? He's a mate.."

my high school group had that, but then I moved to MA for college
