rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

"You fuckin' crazy Ervin, it'd be hard as fuck to pogo stick out here."

guilty lol.

I hear people say "where the ____" without a verb all the time.

I've heard ppl say "where there are" and maybe slurring together 'there'&'are' like "there'r" but i dont think i've ever heard someone say "where the cookouts ...." and then just trail off. unless they had, like, a brain slip or were just generally dumb? idk i cant think of a time ive ever heard someone just drop off the verb entirely? it reads more like a baby's understanding of conveying ideas to me.

although i guess trying to find the logic in a racist's attempt to transcribe 'how black people talk' is the real problem

i've heard people say 'where the keys?' or i've said that, sure, but that's a different sentence than 'isn't this the park where the cookouts?' ... where the cookouts what? whereas in the first its implied that you're dropping "[where] are [the keys] located?"

idk it just reads like either a mistranscription or a made-up transcription the way it is imo

could be terrible punctuation. "Ain't this a park? Where the cookouts and shit?"

nb still horrible

i remember many years ago reading an essay about the transcription of working class voices in Charles Dickens and Robert Tressell that examined similar issues of a "neutral" representation that codes as mockery on the page. i'm guessing mr ghettohikes hasn't put any thought into this...for some reason

and this is the board where "where the tittays at" was a long-running joke

"tittays" is hilarious in a way that "dat" just ain't?

Just found out that for years I've been saying "Where's the white women at" when I should be saying "Where the white women at" :-(

you need to watch Blazing Saddles more

That's not possible

p sure it's 'where all the white women at' but will re-screen tbs

PS young frankenstein much better obv

... not that old debate again

"all" might well be in there but it doesn't change the construction

that's the kinda slack attitude that made great britain broken britain

... highest British attention to the wrong detail

^part 2 def has a "where the" construction

I think that pic upthread needs a comma

i would give it another question mark and just make it two sentences

btw, p sure part two of the beloved 'whered the cheese go' jingle is racist

There are probably more racist Ween songs.

By which I mean, Ween songs that are more racist than that one.

obviously the correct interpretation

Yeah - though now that I can see the sentence that D-40 thought it was, he seems less crazy.

He began his career by publishing The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines (2001), which he followed up by Belligerence and Debauchery: The Tucker Max Stories (2003). Max was the facilitator of the website "Tard Blog", from 2002- 2003.[21][22]

I have heard "jumanji" as slang in the last year, fwiw. Not by a 12-year-old per se, but maybe it's just in the ether right now.

probably after that ohio zoo incident

jumanji still gets played on like abc family all the time, it's obviously not a lion king-level evergreen kids' movie but i think plenty of present day kids are familiar with it

who's the second ween jingle being racist towards? sounds like a vaguely north of england accent with some other stuff mixed in to me.

it's racist against cheese-loving mice

"You should bring girls out here to nature, Mr. Cody. Sing Kumbaya or some shit and just watch the pants drop."

insufficiently "ghetto"

what about the Seinfeld episode where Kramer meets the Japanese tourists and has them sleeping in his "chest of drawers"?

haha you just had to pick one of the seinfeld episodes that is more about unquestioningly reinforcing stereotypes rather than deconstructing them, didn't you dude

oh n/m haha i thought we were on the 'best sitcom episode ever' thread, me dumb

lolllllllllllllll

haha

I don't think the vernacular in question is technically "dialect" /pedant /possiblywrongpedant

Oh shit, it is. Good call.

I knew that and still

he's black because he fell down the chimney (which is also how he got his afro)
