Racism

[Knuckles]

You do know that India and Uganda aren't even on the same continent, right?

I'm aware.

Maybe I'm mistaken but whether or not you personally see the meme as racist isn't going to drive us to reverse our position on the meme, especially because the meme has nothing to do with you.

Well in that case the meme has nothing to do with you either. Or anyone that uses this site for that matter. I'd just like you and other members to realize that this meme is in no way racist.

Whether or not you personally take offense to something that is racist does not define whether or not it is racist, if that makes any sense.

I know several Africans personally (no Ugandans) and being a Black person that has experienced bias and real racism I think my input on the topic should matter. Knuckles is not spouting hate speech or prejudice towards Ugandans or any minorities. This isn't even a racist depiction of Ugandans. It's a f***ing derpy Knuckles. The only thing that would make someone assume that this meme is racist is the accent and way of speaking. This is just a comedic trope that has always been done and is most likely going to continue. Take the voice actor for Mario as an example. Charles Martinet is an American voice actor for an Italian Plumber that says "Mama Mia". That isn't considered racist is it? No. It is not.
