That little house is adorable ☺️

The are you racist one is just sublime.

I've been staring at it for a minute now but it's still not clicking for me. I guess I'm not racist?

At first I thought it was a firm no. as like a stop the joke no.

However on second look I figured it out:

Just replace the text with 'yes' and 'no' respectively

It can be read as someone was very vehemently "protesting too much" in marking "no". I'd just do a casual scribble, since I'm only a little bit racist

There's a couple parts to it. It's black and white, there is no grey area or mixed results. The Yes is white.

I know as many racists with dark skin as I do racists with light skin though.

I know more light skin racists than dark skinned ones, so I cancel you out and then some.

That's how this, works, right?

Except it implies only white people can be racist, and all of them.

No, its inferring the person checking these boxes feels that "white is right". Its not the family guy color chart.

"At a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like to start an argument?"
"Is 11 an option, too?"
"No."
"Why not?"

I don't understand the racist one, even after reading the comments

White yes, colored no

But that's against the logic of the other questions

How so? They marked "no" saying they aren't racist but seen with another view it's like they marked it racistly?

Maybe its black square BLM trend that happened on IG several years ago

Because white is right

You want to answer yes so you gotta leave the first one pure

Racists are the ones who adamantly assure others that they are not, e.g., filling the bubble 100%
