This is a very short story about sarcasm:

Ted opposes racist rants.

Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).

2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.

• 50% of them guessed he was joking.
• 98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted’s little gag.

So the question is:

Despite the sarcasm… isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?

Is Ted subverting his own integrity?

Why not say how we actually feel?
