minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•3 months agoSo caricaturing Obama as a monkey wouldn’t be racist, then? He would even “deserve” it, being a war criminal and all that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 months ago<sigh> black people as a race are historically insulted by depicting them as primates and of course that would weigh much more than this case of a single Caucasian man. Hence racism as opposed to insult.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•3 months agoYeah, all of a sudden, russians are “caucasian”. It’s very convenient to hide racism behind “that’s not a race, though”. /s People used to be racist against italians, baltic people and the irish. Don’t tell me that a russian person is ok, because they’re “white”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-1•edit-23 months agoAs I’ve said before: monkey caricatures have historical precedent. It’s about as bad as depicting him like a kraken/squid.
