rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Would that have been Eddie Mabo at a guess?

Very odd if they indeed didnt mention his name.

It would've been someone who died in 2004.

It reminded me of that movie they made about the life of Mohammed that never showed the prophet or mentioned his name.

It would've been someone who died in 2004.

this guy?

Taco is Dutch and his career was based in Germany, so yes the blackface is racist but no not quite in a way English speakers can easily articulate..

Seem to be an awful lot of comedy Mexicans in British TV ads these days

There's an exchange program between US and UK ad agencies: British come up with ideas featuring comedy Indians or Pakistanis which are unusable at home, they send them over to the US where that's cool. In exchange, Madison Avenue sends over its best comedy Mexican storyboards.

Globalising racism.

He was awesome in Boogie Nights.

I don't understand what's outrageous about the Duke thing other than that she's young and kind of dumb. Would I need to know something about...the Little Rascals? Or white girls dressing as black artists?

I was expecting blackface, tbh

are you two posting from australia too?

oh, they took the photo down!

ahhh, that explains it. whew!

the white girl up above was dressed as Buckwheat and her face was painted like a Spinal Tap album cover

all is as expected, continue on as normal

glad the photo was not replaced with a photo of the two coaches dressed as gangnam style

Oh! Haha okay. I am pretty tone deaf so I was like, jfc what am I being an idiot about now??

Here's the pic.

Not even a very convincing Buckwheat either.

Are those Deadspin comments or Yahoo! ones?

Al from Kid Kraddick radio show dressed in white face for halloween, did whites make a fuss about it? Hell no...

Just when you thought all the racist, lacrosse-playing shitheads at Duke had penises...

On second thought, after looking at pics of some of the WLAX team, that might still be true.

ha i think i'm more genuninely outraged that the little rascals they're imitating (the 'old school classic') is this shitty 90s reboot -

My immediate first thought was "there are college students born in the 90s dressing up as the Little Rascals?"

and then I remembered that movie.

wait... a little rascals reboot?!?!

hmm. a legitimate contender for this thread!

that is a legitimate contender for this thread

it's also hilarious

fuck

When I watched the first season of the Mighty Boosh, I remember feeling pretty uncomfortable watching this bit.

lol what the fuck is that

did anyone ever post the mississippi gary stuff from kith here? i'm too lazy/horrified to read the whole thread.

Like, if I had felt the show was worth sharing with my wife or someone, this bit would have torpedoed that for me.

ok someone needs to explain to me how an aquatic hermaphrodite in greenface is racist

it's racist AND homophobic, man

he's old gregg

the male-to-female anthropomorphic fish lobby just doesn't have the funds to get their message out the way other special interest groups do

ok someone needs to explain to me how an aquatic hermaphrodite in greenface is racist

the aquatic hermaphrodite look is achieved by painting dude up like an ill golliwog and he's speaking in some variant of an American southern accent

the entire thing is hilarious though

in some variant of an American southern accent

That was supposed to be a WHAT?

I thought they were Australian, which really made no sense to me.
