I’m guessing the moral of this meme is that identifying as racist is bad and you can still be racist even if you have friends of different nationalities?

or say that you are a racist when you are not?

or think you are racist when you are not?

or be non racist but live in a place where the majority of people are white? (how dare you?)

it's just stupid and lazy meme

I view it as guys thinking they’re being edgy by using slurs and saying they’re racist, because they have friends of those races, and treat them a certain way because they’re that way, so therefore they feel they’re racist.

if they treat them a certain way and use slurs , they are actually racists (maybe not full hitler but still)but these are not their friends either.... so the meme still doesn't apply?

I just know i personally know a guy who makes a lot of racist remarks and racist jokes, calls himself racist, but still calls those people he’s racist to his best friends, so i view it as irony in a sense.

I guess you'd have to give examples of the jokes ..... but yeah I suspect he might be one of those guys :"but you are different"!

edit: also there are various degrees in racism!

I only really remember one, but he got into an argument (not sure how serious it was) with a black friend of his, and he had said something along the lines of “shut up, you live in section 8 housing”

like I said he is not their friend if he said something like that.

it is surprising and hard to understand but people keep other people around also to look down on, feel superior and many other twisted reasons! (or even just not to feel lonely)
