I would say Wanda's as it's literally a biased generalization of an entire race, while the subject of Roseanne's tweet literally looks like a character from that movie

I just assumed it was the added Muslim comment that made it racist. Which is what she is defending with, saying that Muslims aren't a race.

I'm not really offended by it because I as a white individual don't commit imperialism. Somebody made fun of powerful people committing atrocities, oh no!

Even if you are offended by the racial component it's laughable to compare it to Roseanne's post, which is less a joke and more a straight-up racial slur. That's what it is when you call a black person an ape, and that's much more generally offensive because it really has nothing to do with their character or actions. It's something you say when you don't like somebody because they're black (unless you're really ignorant of what it means, but I doubt that Roseanne didn't know what she was doing)

Islam is a part of someone's character, not their race, thus calling muslims apes is attacking their character, not a racial slur.

It's kind of alarming how "it's not technically racism if it's religious discrimination!" has become a widespread defense in place of actually addressing such criticisms and not deflecting the issue.

I mean, it's really disingenuous to compare the tweets. I know everybody aspires to be virtuous by being "moderate", but "Well why can you say something bad about white people but not about black people" is really a simplistic and unhelpful way to look at these issues. It's almost like racially-charged things people say can have different contexts and different levels of severity... as was the case here, predictably.

Maybe you aren't alt-right just for equating the tweets, but you're enabling the alt-right by doing so because whataboutism is their specialty. The Wanda Sykes tweet is exactly the kind of straw they grasp at to pretend they're offended (though I'm sure a similar level of joke made about black people would've only registered a "you aren't allowed to joke about anything anymore") and then use that to further justify their own racism.

That doesn't really have anything to do with what I said, nor is it particularly accurate (protip: saying somebody can't cite their religion as a basis for discriminating against people isn't discrimination).

That's the thing though. From an objective standpoint, a lot of the white people memes I've seen are more offensive than Roseanne's tweets. I'm not personally offended (in fact a bunch of them have been pretty funny) but the hypocrisy makes my eyes roll in the back of my head. An example of one I saw the other day... it was four pictures of white dudes that said there are four types of white people. Now what if you made a meme about 4 types of black people? Not cool right? Super racist right?

Maybe I'd have to see the meme, but that sure doesn't sound like a strong example of "more offensive" than calling a black person an ape. Also, not that racism in memes is acceptable, but how many memes are just random things made by mostly anonymous people? Roseanne has a large audience and people tend to be more impressionable when they're hearing things from a public figure rather than a meme.

Also, neither one really sounds that racist to me. A white person could easily make that kind of meme about themselves, or a black person about themselves. Really depends on what the content is and how positively or negatively it portrays the types

Thats absolutely false.

I do not consider and race superior to any others. It takes all kinds and all abilities.

Real racists think they arent racist because its impossible to dehumanize people they dont think are human.

Yet I am racist for thinking all humans can be equally dehumanized.

Guess which viewpoint puts one racial group over another in value? The one that thinks one group can be less effected by dehumanization than another.
