rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

racist and also horrible drawing

lol oh no doubt the quality of the drawing+presentation is bad, would not click again except to mine for more "is this racist" thread material.

seems p racist to me!

merging our 'is this racist' and 'hey look at this shitty webcomic' threads would be a sad endless downward spiral tho i think

worst thing about those comics is that they're so criminally unfunny

You guys would have such fun on the batshit rightwing cartoons thread

i'm cutting down on my US political news in general, i think on the long run it will get beneficial for my health. i have enough on my plate already with harper and charest, quebecor, desmarais &cie

my miniature dachshund barks like a madman at any dog he sees. once he gets face-to-face with another dog he warms up to them after a minute or two of acting like a tough guy.

when he sees other dachshunds, he doesn't bark at all. in fact, he acts like he's known the other dachshunds forever, even if they just met.

IS MY DOG RACIST?

is your dog exerting power/influence over these other dogs?

maybe he misrecognizes himself as a giant quadropedal caterpillar rather than a dog

are his wife and some of his best friends shar peis?

has he ever tried to hump a shiba inu? and totally not in a fetishy way?

that comic would be more interesting if he would not just show from a distance chinese ppl acting differently than westerners but make an effort to explain their point of view; if he doesn't know then he would have to stick his neck out and talk to them i guess.

Have we done this?

I would like to think that I don't understand that form but I am fearing that I do

Yes aaaand yes (it is a hoax though)

well, more than a hoax; it's a satirical protest of NYPD's racial profiling

in context, I don't think this is racist

Well yeah! This just seemed like a good thread to stick it on

Off-topic but it's kind of eerie how Milo Bloom's hair has become the default "cool guy's haircut" you see in London for the past, oh, year and a half. It's like the barbers studied the strips.

But sort of back on topic, one of my colleagues (who is black) told me last week that her son's school requires him to keep his hair at least two inches long???!!! Like, there's a school rule about it. And of course her son HATES this with a burning white-hot hate because hair that long is..... not exactly in among the London yoot

So, er, multiple "default cool guy" styles I guess

omg, is that an anti-skinhead rule?

lololololololololol

oof, googling '365black' gets you to some ugly places quick.

ha I googled "mcdonald's frisk form" to be safe

business insider writes it up:

erry Malloy, the author of the "Three Strikes, You're In!" press release, told Business Insider that the parody initiative was launched to draw attention to the Stop-and-Frisk program and the innocent people that it targets. According to him, the parody turns the Stop-and-Frisk program "into a game with a delightful prize."

the website itself has gone cryptic

http://www.threestrikesyourein.org/

yeah apparently white nationalist bloggers like mcdonald's' marketing to the black community even less than black people on the internet do, funny how that works

Hahaha Dan that did not occur to me but it very well could be! DELICIOUS, THE IRONING IS

ironically racist school codes apparently turn me into Yoda

id guess its a prep school pleb-phobe thing?

or can state schools make inane rules too idk

He doesn't go to prep school, so it's not that

no irish, no faux-hawks, no dogs

if yr childs hair is less than 2" long then it means u are currently glassing a suspected nonce in an estate pub

racist against nonces

camel jockeys on your shorts - is it racist?

every time this thread pops up, i think "yes"

haha

those shorts aren't racist - they're excellent!

^ advertising slogan?

i don't think they're racist per se but maybe, uh, orientalist? is orientalism a type of racism?

those aren't 'jockey shorts' tho, are they? is it some kind of visual pun

(fyi i just googled jockey and apparently tim tebow is their spokesobject heh)

is orientalism a type of racism?

edward said certainly thought so

bam

Those boxer shorts just have a bunch of old clip art of camels, from the nineteenth century, judging from the style, and the great majority of the camels are riderless, although I did see one camel that had a rider in a burnoose, which seems more of an accidental artifact of the clip art source than the main point of the design. The artist who designed them probably had nothing more in mind than 'camels look cool' and 'this clip art is free' and 'maybe people will buy these'.

yeah, i don't really get what is even orientalism about these shorts unless you believe ppl riding camels on shorts are always an example of orientalism? i get that maybe part of their appeal rests of the exoticism of, say, camels over horses. tho there are plenty of shorts with horses on them.
