You know how you can tell this meme was made by a white supremacist? They make sure to specify how you can only get away with using racial slurs on whites, because racists always have to ensure that they have a grievance that justifies their racism.
Oh and because it's not that funny.
Whiteness is and has always been evil. Whiteness as an idea was constructed by slave traders to justify slavery. The racial identities of the rest of the world are drawn from their own history, or from labels forced onto them by white people. But the identity of whiteness is nothing but a tool of oppression and evil.
I made this meme because I noticed the fact that Shran's insults don't apply to Travis, which is silly. In a way, Shran upholds white supremacy, because he reduces humanity to "pink skin", which doesn't represent everyone. I started thinking about the racial implications of this, and thought the whole situation of Shran participating in black erasure so that the show could avoid being called racist quite ironic and funny.
This is the absolute dumbest take.
