Accidental racism


About

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:

  • Wording that came out wrong.
  • Ironic pictures.
  • Something that just didn't come out like expected.

Rules and Regulations

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.

**XI. Cleaning Posts Only. Only post things about cleaning, purification, cleansing, and removing unwanted filth. This rule supersedes all other rules. This is a Texan rule and Texas has ruled that it cannot be censored under the law.

Just found out my birth year, which I put in my user names everywhere including here on Reddit, is Nazi code.

I was born in 1988 🫠 And no, you cannot change your username on Reddit. Should I just start over and make a new account? 😭

Paint fixes everything

Found in a facebook reel skits about landlords painting everything to fix it.

The joke on this part was that the tenant wasn’t paying, and painting him fixed it and made him pay.

Visited Loughborough University for work last week and this was the guest WiFi code.

The code seems to be randomly generated, and it was different the next day. Have to assume it was a coincidence, but it was jarring! Not sure how common the phrase is in the UK, or if it’s something I’ve only seen online from the States.

In 1968 the Beatles painted the windows of their store white and chipped out “Hey Jude” and “Revolution” to promote the White album. Due to the song names and the way they appeared, people began to assume it was an anti-semitic hate crime and meant to harken back to the Night of Broken Glass.
