I remember that party!
Some scenarios are racist and some are Politically Correct issues; the line between the two is blurrier now than in the past. Unfortunately the past cannot be forgotten and is no longer forgiven in today’s society.

Gauging a troll attempt simply on replies alone is akin to judging an NHL player on +/-. People are always gonna do things like post to mock the ridiculousness, respond to other posters, or generally have a laugh.
A well done troll attempt will engage actual responses. See DESS and we should ban all dogs or the olden times conspiracy theory threads. The transparency of this attempt was amateur hour.

Presumably you're dealing with her poop and tending to her nourishmnet and grooming, so yes.

First up: eye black.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_black
There is no evidence that wearing black stripes under your eyes helps you see/reduce glare. As such, it seems to have become a kind of 'war paint'; that is, wearing black on your face makes you look more intimidating or focused. Is that racist?
Emoticons.
Many mediums allow the user to choose the skin color of their emoticon. See:
If I'm white and use black emoticons regularly, is that racist?
Finally, costumes.
It's pretty clear between Trudeau and Aliu that we can't dress up as a person of color. That's racist. But what about dressing up in a costume without blackface? Is that racist? If I want to go as black panther for Halloween even though I'm white, can I?
Along that line, what about 'alternative' colors. Example:
Is this costume offensive to other species?
Any other examples of these sorts of things? |
Since nobody has bothered to answer your questions, here you go:
no.
based on everything else you've been saying, probably.
no, but it's not because you're white, it's because you're an idiot.
no.
millions, but even a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters would struggle to come up with a post this dumb.

The thread quality isn't in relation to the comments, it's the thread itself. It was clearly in bad faith and I think you know that.

War paint is definitely racist. If it wasn't, Mel Gibson wouldn't be doing it.
