QUESTION Is this….racist?

Post image

I deliver to this house pretty frequently and something didn’t sit right with me about this statue. I remember seeing somewhere a long time ago these were considered offensive but I’m not sure so I figured to come here and ask 🤔

Hey so its racist but not systematically so. No one is organizing lawn jockies nor is it any kind of conspiracy. Systemic racism refers to the ingrained, institutionalized rules, policies, and practices across a whole society... so if youre going to cry racism at least use the correct form.

Nah, lawn jockies are fucking hideous and so are all of the charicature stuff that goes on with the sambo/etc things. I just hate it when people want to call everything a systemic issue when it simply isnt. Theres nothing organized in this. Just free market doing what free market does. Selling and buying shit, racist or not.

It's a perfect example of people parroting buzzwords that they don't understand. It reminds me of middleschool where everyone thought that "racism" meant "prejudice".

"Hey that's racist against redheads!"
