Here’s a little lunchtime nausea-fest for you! According to BuzzFeed, 7-year-old Tiana Parker from Tulsa, Oklahoma, was sent home from her elementary school because she wore dreads in her hair – which broke the school’s dress code banning “faddish hairstyles,” including afros, dreadlocks, and mohawks. Check out the story from KOKI News: So, as always […]
Usually our ‘Is It Racist’ posts have to do with stupid things that white people say or do about other races. Specifically, black people and Asians. Today’s featured ‘Is It Racist,’ though, is a little different. Specifically, black on black racism. People are up in arms this week over a video that was recently featured […]
Day Above Ground, the “rock” band that released the song and video, felt the need to release this disclaimer when the video hit the YouTubez: Without watching that much of the video, because OMG, UGH, I’m still gonna say, “uh, yeah. Pretty friggin’ racist.” What do you think of the song “Asian Girlz”? Silly, fun, […]
IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF EVERYONE’S FAVORITE GAME: IS IT RACIST? In case you hadn’t heard, Brad Paisley (along with his pal LL Cool J) released a song called “Accidental Racist,” in which each of them basically said they were sorry to each other for, y’know, um… “accidental racism.” So, like, if the song […]
It seems like, for the most part, peoples’ resounding answer to our “Is It Racist?” posts is “NO.” They think (and fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinions) that we’re being overly sensitive, and that not everything has to be a race issue. For example, most of you said “NOPE” when we asked […]
I probably could have shortened that title to “Is It Racist? Utah” and you’d be like, “uh, yeah, probably,” but let’s just go with this. In a recent issue of Utah Valley Magazine the editors thought it would be super witty and a great pun if they decided to feature a photo of their staff’s […]
As always, it’s up to you… is it racist? (Other possibility – it’s the 70s, everything was weird back then.)
It’s too early for this! It’s Monday! We’re all still rolling out of bed and trying to find a cab home getting coffee and an Eggo waffle! Why do these things have to pop up on my news feed before I’ve put my contacts in?!! Oh well. Time and weird racism stories wait for no […]
Ohhhhhhh jeez. Okay. One second, let’s compose ourselves. Alright. Let’s talk about this “ad” for a “dating service” that is actually just a “super f***ing stupid and borderline offensive commercial for a brand of crappy, dry-ass chips that they give away at 5Ks and even there people are like, ‘no thanks’.” First of all, UGH, […]
The recent Trayvon Martin story has been confusing, heart-breaking, and at times infuriating. Whichever side you take, it’s clear that the loss of a young man is a tragedy, and that the justice system should investigate the story to the full extent of the law. However, when a group decides to go so far as […]
