Here is an example from today........now this might be tricky one

But thats the reason I chose this example as this stuff is complicated.

EtuWHO made the following post.

User Posted Link

Is this post racist or was it purely done for humour........combination of both.........

I have no idea of the intent....... I dont know EtuWHO.

But what is obvious is that those who had a predisposed view of EtuWho took it to be 100% racist........

Personally I thought it was a racial joke to get a reaction/tilt and........ it worked.
