    Why? It doesn’t say or imply anything about white people, or that white people are racist. It just says that a white person who is racist is very cliche typical American. So it’s an anti US comment, but it’s not racist (as it doesn’t say anything about white people that aren’t racist, they’re not just “typically American”.

      It’s saying negative things about people based only on race/ethnicity and throws skin colour in there just for extra points.

      It’s very literally the perfect example for what racism is defined as, “discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity”

      I really don’t care because people deal with this shit every day, but I think it’s pretty fucking funny because the commenter has gone full circle with it. I’m not even American and was like, “Whoah…”

      Maybe if you substituted race and skin colour you’d get it. Though, if you’re having to do that…yeeeesh. self-reflection time.
