Ok
I don't get the joke.
I think the point is that she's a nice person in general and he's a very racist POS.
Hm, ok, I would have never guessed it from her speech bubble.
It's that they both are, he just wears it on his sle.. Shirt.
She's just more subtle. She supports BLM in spirit but agrees that the roads need to be clear for health and safety reasons.
She tolerates racism but wouldn't be the first to speak
It's funny because it's soooo true!
In fact in MY suburbs, you see it in FIVE out of every FOUR hetero couples! Now waddaya think of that, huh?
The joke is that every 1 out of 3 heterosexual couples features a basic woman and a racist bro.
Sometimes the gal can be racist. My friends tried to hook me up with a cute lady who had an amazing accent. Turns out, she was south-african and very quickly let me know that ending apartheid was a mistake because "some people just can't prepare for modern life".
Noped right the fuck out of setting up that date.
Which is ironic because this is just another form of prejudism against heteros. Heterophobia?
Only if you think being hetero means racist. Says more about you than anyone else.
I'm a little confused.
If I said a 3rd of gay men are racists, I would expect most people to consider this homophobic.
I would expect the same to apply to heteros. We're all people here.
Maybe I've misunderstood something, and maybe the above isn't true?
These people definitely exist, and 1/3 of the time they find each other.
I'm sorry your brain is broken. ☹️
Good conversation. Thanks for the useful input.
What even is this? This is theleftcantmeme tier shit.
What even is this?
A shitpost.
You projected politics onto it. Being racist or condemning racism is apolitical.
Salon.com has nothing to do with racism either. It's just a known progressive news website they're referencing to imply they have opposing political views.
Blunt version: straight male bad, conservative = racist
I'm actually kind of curious how you're interpreting this comic though
How do you know the guy is a conservative? The image mentions nothing about politics
Their opposing political views are implied by the salon article-sharing progressive woman vs. straight white conservative man. He's a cartoon man in a single comic panel. If they're not relying on stereotypes here I'm gonna need the joke explained to me
I see a woman tolerant of racism while denying it and a racist man. The conservative part I'm guessing you extrapolated by the thought that it is a regressive trait and therefore more likely to be a conservative?
I want that shirt
Here you go
You wouldn't download a car
The fuck I wouldn't
I know some fuckers out there definitely would
"What the fuck am I supposed to do with this... this... PDF car?"
You have a pdf file car? What like a white van with free candy written on the side? You sick fuck.

"one piece at a time.... it's a '49, '50, '51...."
But he’s always so nice to me and my white friends and family.
Damn, that's totally what she'd say. Excluding the whiteness part. She hasn't reflected on that.
That's my mom. She doesn't really think about stuff like that at all. I still get bullied by my dad whenever I date black people or any POC and I'm well into my 20's.
At least you know which shirt to give to your dad next Christmas
Your dad is a butthead I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
He's probably progressive as well, but knows that virtue signalling is gay
Nah, progressive racism is well meaning misguided white savior sort of shit, like "if we cut welfare all the black people will starve!"
itt, people this shitpost is about
It's a meme that hits hard
For some reason I'm reminded of a local house that flies both the Confederate and Pride flags.
They aren't mutually exclusive flags, so I have to wonder if it is one opinion, or many.
