Let's Play 'Is it Racist'?!

Paybacksays...

Somehow I think this was more panic-induced-describe-what's-in-front-of-you rather than "racist". I bet the poor woman was chanting "don't say something that could be termed racist" to herself all the way to the podium.

Guntersays...

If you have to remind yourself to not say something racist, your probably racist.

Agreed, Payback. The shell-shock of newsspeak and race-baiting, media manipulation and fear-mongering caused this woman to go into shock while in the presence of a black man, probably because she lives insulated from their culture in some all-white sanctuary. She's no more developmentally-disabled that 85-90% of the entire Population of America.

Part of her initial association-reaction may have come from having seen zombie after zombie in film with dirt all over their faces or that deep-blue hue of necrotic flesh.

OR, her 1st zombie film (like mine) was George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, in which the first zombie of the film to take a heinous bite out of that persons shoulder, was a blackman zombie with a giant afro. That shit fucked me UP when I was 12!
I will never forget that brother....best zombie film still, ever made.


To cry "racist" from the utterance of one word is quite a stretch and usually denotes a lack of critical thinking capability of the user. Racism is a convenient label for assholes who think their shit does not stink, ESPECIALLY coming from an American.
Not accusing you of being an American or an asshole Gunter, but that kind of quip reminds me of the type of shit dick-berries from UC Berkeley would say, the ones who can find racism in a bowl of clam chowder.

You're correct. Like the early, pre-romero zombie flicks, which were created with black magic rituals. How unique that she automatically thinks of this era of zombie flick...

C'mon folks. Vodou, anyone? You know, West African magic, where the word 'zombi' comes from in the first place? Even in the popular entertainment context, I do believe the first zombies in film were from Haiti.

Call me an optimist, but I just wanted to point out it's possible the lady is a refined connoisseur of the occult and/or brain-devouring corpses, and not a racist douchebag at all. No comment on the likelihood of that.
