On Today’s Episode of “Is It Racist?”

[Social Distance Warrior]

I prefer Ms. Osaka...

Spoiler

So do I.

 

[redwire]

I seems racist on first look, but on further reflection, I keep thinking 'how else would you caricature her'?

 

[waiguoren]

I dont think it is. Thats kinda what she looks like.

Should they have white washed her or something ?

Wait...is that the "racist" cartoon?

What exactly is racist about it?

I can't even confirm if that's the cartoon since Twitter apparently decided to flush it down the memory hole.

 

[waiguoren]

How did they white wash the Asian player? Her hair is bleached and they didn’t really draw her facial features.

Williams has thrown temper tantrums on the court many times before, not only versus a Haitian-Japanese-American opponent.

 

[Cid]

But with whites the caricatures are never exaggerated to the same extreme.

See how the artist didn't go completely over the top with Mick's big lips?

Mick Jagger is an ugly motherfucker with big ass lips, Mick Jaggers lips are so big black people be goin' "you got some big ass lips"

- Some racist from the 80's

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Updating it with preconceived notions?

3 quotes in one thread without a reply.

Upset?

 

[ultramanhyata]

Hurts that I understand this race stuff better than you, doesn't it?

Me? The guy defending the cartoon as not racist?

Keep flailing at the whole world, little guy.

 

[S Class]

She was acting in a ridiculous way so the artist drew her in a ridiculous way. Not racist. Plus, Osaka's skin color was nearly the same as Serena's in the drawing. Racism doe.

Goodnight, racist prince. The mob has spoken.

 

[ultramanhyata]

At least have the balls to @Madmick you pansy.

It wasn't some sort of challenge. It was a joke. But points for mod dick riding.

Won’t start a new thread but here’s the latest installment of “Is This Racist?”

Teacher lashed out at Kaepernick and suggests those living in the inner city move if they don’t like their neighborhood. The post takes a turn when she suggests they move back to Africa if they hate America. Might be mildly racist.

 

[Letssnuggle]

So only caricatures can be made of non-blacks?

 

[SiKnSiN]

Nothing about it is racist. A shame how he was treated due to this.

 

[TheGreatA]

It's racist if everybody says so.

I wonder why people never threw a fit over the Obama caricatures? Surely they were every bit as offensive as this particular cartoon? That is, if we judge based on the standard of drawing a black person with exaggerated features, which is kind of a common thing in drawing caricatures.

Perhaps people should avoid drawing caricatures of minorities to avoid such "mishaps". Perhaps they ought to just stick to drawing caricatures about Trump, to avoid hurting anyone's (but the big Orange's) feelings:

That was Eddie Murphy bud.

 

[Cid]

That was Eddie Murphy bud.

Well then this Eddie Murphy character used a racist stereotype of African Americans as a punchline for his silly joke and he should be forced to publicly apologize to the African American community for his bigotry.

I don't know man, I guess some people will look more ridiculous than others if drawn in a caricature.

more like 'in this episode of 'you have to walk on egg shells while you're doing something that involves blacks/minorities for fear of being called racist' .. so now you have to be sweating bricks while drawing a comic with a black character for fear that the features aren't just perfect and 'nonracist' lol .. nothing racist about this .. just a fkn comic depicting a petulant brat .. no one even knows what 'racism' means now .. if I were this comic, I'd tell all the race baiters to go fuck themselves

Curious to hear from any black posters: does shit like this feel patronizing or condescending?

I mean Serena's behaviour was ridiculous. Doesn't it feel a little condescending as a black person to have white liberals basically shield you from any criticism?
