Absolutely ridiculous. That is
not racism. People in the Western world are paranoid when it comes to racism, especially concerning people from African descent. It's a full-fledged witch hunt.
I'm not racist at all, the concept is completely lost to me. My best friend is black and that has no significance to me at all.
I'm amazed at how people aren't allowed to make regular jokes anymore. Do those mosquitoes come from Africa, yes. Do those people come from Africa? Yes. Is it a true statement that those mosquitoes will be eating home food? Yes. Does it matter? Absolutely not.
Why on earth do people have to make such a fuzz about silly things like this. Jokes about Belgians would never be treated the same way.
A case.
What do these 2 people have in comon:
Correct, they're both human AND both look like monkeys.
I say the first guy looks like a monkey: no one cares, some people laugh.
I say the second guy looks like a monkey: planet explodes, everybody gets mad and constipated.
That's plain wrong. I wonder what would happen if a black person calls a white person a polar bear. Yup, nothing.
I know there's some context to be taken into account, like a very long period of terrible oppression, but you don't heal those wounds by becoming totally paranoid.
Poor woman, those are my thoughts.
