Girl at the chinese restaurant today actually said "Solly" when she mixed up our drinks. I felt racist for hearing her say that.

I don't see how that photo is racist.Some father saw his kid crawl in a toilet and took a picture because it is funny.
Now... I assume that whatever the Russian is saying is racist... which is racist on my part.
Posted by TheCatt on Jun. 16 2014,04:14
The typed title of the picture (which isn't there) said "Obama's childhood"So, you were right. And Russian isn't really a race.

Europe keeps racism, and thus horrid blackface going strong.These people are dutch, I think:
Also how can Russian not be a race? I can think of 3-4 racist stereotypes without trying.

Robot Chicken had some thing recently talking about how the dutch have a xmas character called... "black pete" or something like that in their traditions, and it was customary to blackface up as black pete.I don't know the actual details. Robot CHicken isn't much of a primary source for dutch xmas traditions. But that pic looks like what they showed black pete to be.

Now and then I try to give the kid little nuggets of info about racism, with the general idea that racism is bad, some people are willing to judge other people based on their skin color and that's bad, etc etc. He's a very sweet kid so it's a delicate lesson to teach.I forget the the exact conversation the other day, but I said something like, "White people like you and me." He says, "But you're not white, you're red."
Nice reminder of the high blood pressure. Ugh.

Depends on context. < This is >.I used to work at a public pool. Back kids didn't seem any less likely to swim so I wasn't even aware of that stereotype.
At the pool there would be times when we had to clear everybody out of the water. Sometimes it was chlorine related, sometimes it was due to a "white shirt drill" (lifeguards were tested with a fake drowning and during the rescue the pool was evacuated), and sometimes there was lightning or other reason for cleaning people out of the water.
Those people look like they are standing around waiting for or listening to someone right of frame.
Posted by Leisher on Aug. 06 2014,10:15
It's currently making the rounds up here with the phrase "Toledo pool parties be like...".I can't believe you've never heard that stereotype though. Didn't we post a video in the YouTube thread about reforming old racists? In the video there's a scene where a black guy jumps into a pool and an old white women screams, "Dear God, someone save that poor man."
Posted by Paul on Aug. 06 2014,12:10
I didn't hear of it until later. I just assumed that everybody could swim. I guess you only went to the pool if you could swim, and I didn't have any black friends, and it's not as if my friends and I ever discussed the swimming habits of urban youth.I think comedians would make jokes about it but I didn't take it seriously.
The only time I witnessed African Americans not being able to swim was while watching Survivor. It seemed like every season they'd have a black guy on that couldn't swim. I felt embarrassed and thought that the people casting the show should make an effort to cast black men who could swim because it was getting ridiculous.
One season they were picking teams and someone flat out asked a black guy if he could swim (because it crippled teams in previous seasons) and the guy answered that he could swim. He even described it as "dynamic." I remember thinking "Whew!"
It ends up the guy was lying and he couldn't swim and I felt guilty for watching the stereotype take place yet again.
Now, how about this for is It Racist?

Not racist. The others probably moved to better neighborhoods with their parents.And so they could put their own kids into better kindergartens.
Dammit! Okay, I'll give you that one.

I'm sure that Walmart employee and the elderly person they also attacked were oppressing them somehow. Hopefully these thugs' mothers are going through their photo albums right now. Once they're arrested, they'll need pictures of them when they were 11 to give to the MSM.

You hope the dudes running the clinic would be able to organize their shit so that what you pick from the catalog matches what they deliver. I'd call that an issue. I think they're just not looking forward to all the questions surrounding how a couple white lesbians managed to get a black kid from the sperm bank. I can only imagine the hell that kid will go through in high school.
