I’m mostly half-serious.

balderdash9,

So we’re in agreement lol

balderdash9,

I’m calling out the government for wasting funds and using literal slave labor… and you’re more concerned that I edited their traditional headdress into the picture.

balderdash9,

There’s more nuance to this subject than you’re implying. It is not the case that either we can’t make any reference to race/ethnicity or else Lemmings don’t care about racism. Making reference to race or cultural insignia doesn’t automatically make something racist.

In other words, there is a middle ground here. Blackface is an obviously hurtful representation of black people that harkens back to when white people saw them as inferior. On the other hand, many middle eastern men wear this particular head covering and there is nothing hateful about it’s inclusion into the picture.

balderdash9,

Just post about what you find interesting and try to put a funny spin on it. I’ve made posts about all sorts of topics/cultures that I’m genuinely curious about whenever I make an observation that I think could make people chuckle.
