Here's a quite controversial website, Yo, Is This Racist? I agree with like 80% of the stuff on it. Sometimes he goes a lil too far. I have to say though, his answer to this question and this one were pretty great.

So yeah. Discuss. I guess. I'm willing to bet that this thread will either get no posts or will have a massive flame war.

I think we established a while ago that Anonymous tends to be kinda racist at times.

That second one is great.

Wow, this is really stupid. What a waste of time looking at that website.

That's pretty funny...

I actually feel dumber for reading it, but that's okay. Takes all sorts of people.

Anyone who puts down, condescends or makes disparaging remarks of another racial ethnicity is having a racist moment-this does not necessarily make them racist, but they said something racist. Repeat offenses generally make the suggestion that they are racist though.

Making a joke to one of your best friends who is black that dinner isn't fried chicken and watermelon is okay, PROVIDING he is a friend and is cool with the joking around. As long as both parties know it's a joke and are cool with it, it ain't racist. I also denied him grape soda-he laughed quite spectacularly over it.

To me its all in the intention, my friends and I will often make jokes that would shock 'polite company' and unfamiliar people, but my friends and I understand the level of irony which is intended.

Exactly my point. Thank you for summing up my post in one word-intention. I'm agreeing, not being sarcastic (stupid internet made it look even to ME that I was being sarcastic).

No worries at all, I saw something the other day about sarcasm punctuation, I think the internet may need something like that.

Of course some jokes are just vile, unfunny and designed to be hurtful, they belong in the 20th Century.

Yeah, this wasn't really all that good.

Those were pretty funny. "Is it racist if I don't believe in affirmative action?"

The answers are gak, the questions are quite funny.


But then, I'm a huge racist, yo.

Even if I disagree with the guy at times, I greatly respect him for his attitude. Everyday thousands of people tell him that he's a stupid donkey-cave and does it faze him? Hell nah.

Yeah this guy totally has carefully reasoned positions.

most of the people who experienced that stuff firsthand are dead or really old and not affected by this.

Yo, obviously I get some variation of this idiotic question every single day, but you’ve somehow done a surprisingly succinct job of encapsulating the mindset of racist donkey-caves who think like you, so, bing bong, you win an answer.

<text redacted; don't quote things that bypass the language filters. --Janthkin>
Seriously, though, you are dumb as hell.

Yeah...I greatly respect his attitude.

Skimmed it, best line evar was at the end of one posters' question regarding his mother and her possible racism...

"What the f#%$ do you do with that much stupid?"

Well, even if he swears a lot and uses capslocks stupidly, he's right about that.
