Accidental racism
This subreddit is for pictures of innocent things that appear to be racist in a certain connotation.
Some examples of what accidental racism could be are:
I. No intentional racism! Intentional racism and bigotry of any kind will be met with an immediate and permanent ban.
II. Not just accidental racism: Accidental sexism, or any other accidential -ism is also permitted.
III. Crossposts and reposts: Crossposting is allowed. Reposts from the last 90 days or the top 50 of all time are not.
IV. No fakes or staged photos: Content must be genuine; no photoshopped pictures or staged situations for karma. This ain't /r/4chan.
V. NSFW content must be tagged.
VI.Adhere to reddiquette and the reddit content policy. Be civil, no doxxing, brigading, et cetera.
VII. No complaining: Do not complain that in some contexts the accidental racism is innocent or tenuous, or not actually racist. We know. It's accidental. Nothing here is actually racist. Leave that to /r/iamverysmart.
VIII. No critical race discussion posts: The subject and study of critical race theory is a serious topic, however, this is not a serious subreddit. It's primarily a humor subreddit. In light of that, critical race discussions do not belong here.
IX. Swastika posts. In the Western world, specifically North America, swastikas are associated with Nazism, Neo-Nazism, and other offshoots. These posts are allowed. Items that are mildly swastika, or only kinda sorta look like one belong in /r/accidentalswastika or /r/mildlyswastika.
X. No "N", KKK or Negro posts. "N", "Nig", Negro and KKK posts, there are a lot of these and there are no variations between the one and the other.

We were at a Japanese restaurant in Germany. Since my mum doesn't know very much German, she tried to ask me if they serve duck at this restaurant. However, she got mixed up somewhere between chicken (Huhn) and beef (Rindfleisch) and asked me "do they have Hundfleisch? (dog meat!") Luckily the waiter wasn't there...
Is this accidentally racist, it’s outside of Starbucks?
This wolf is one of three designs on these giant neon colored balls we have as a prize where I work, and for months I’ve always thought the wolf is a Nazi. This is also the only one of the three that has this pattern, the other two just have straight lines in their glasses.
