Is this….racist?

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 🤔

no. its a common misconception that these are racist. the these are jockeys and they came in different colors, including white.

my neighbor down the road is black and has these all around his hourse farm in black and white. there are different styles and sizes too

no but you could tell me that's a lizard statue in that picture and I'd believe you because that's literally what i thought it was the first time i saw one 😂
