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.

Olá pessoal tudo bem? Queria alguém para conversar!
Está rolando uma fofoca minha na faculdade (faculdade pequena) que eu fui racista. Não sei oque eu faço, ao menos se eu mostrar por atitudes que eu não sou, mas eu não quero me esforçar por ser uma pessoa que eu n sou.

In my math class, my math teacher does this thing where we get tickets for getting questions right or help explaining something. We then put those tickets in a basket and every Friday those tickets are put in a raffle. Kids that get chosen can get a prize like a cheap plastic toy or a piece of candy. One day, a kid got a toy camera where everytime you click on it, a different animal pops up on the toy's screen. He started to pretend taking pictures of the classmates. He then clicked with the camera pointed at an African American girl and the animal the popped on the screen was a monkey. He started to freak out and apologize while the girl was confused about what was going on.
I accidentally called my 29yr old black roommate spooky. This was done as I was walking by his room, and I initially did even think about it until he said “what?” And I told him “I didn’t even think about how bad it sounded”. For context we call each other the most random words and phrases but no race words.
I feel bad, I will apologize again in person. But still any suggestions on how to amend it. He’s a very nice guy and friend, don’t think he’ll take it to heart.
Thanks
I don't know if this is accidental or not. Assuming so! This isn't Photoshop or fake. It's from my phone and I suspect at least some of you can reproduce it.
Look at the full size image. I'm searching for 'African', but it's also highlighting every instance of 'Black'. Like, WHY?!
As far as I’m aware this is legit,I have no words.
