No, the one where he hired some people who didn't understand english too well, to dance while holding a sign (I think it said "Hitler did nothing wrong")

It was Kill all Jews. Something like that...

Bonus that they are in a minority that are targeted for suspicion of terrorist activity.

Bahahaha, that's amazing. Dear gods.
I thought the guy was just an extremely irritating, overrated Youtube celebrity with a whiny voice and an inexplicably large fanbase, but it turns out he has a sense of humour and a desire to use his success in the name of comedy, too. :))

That reminds me of a picture I have in my list of quotes. Was from a conversation on Discord that went something like this:

"Is it racist if I have a black villain who's named after an African legend?"
"Everything's racist these days so it doesn't really matter. Just go for it."

Incidentally, maybe the Swedish Institute did this whole thing to drum up more publicity. After all, slapping a horrific label as "racist" upon a well-known individual like JonTron or Pewdiepie is bound to catch the attention of a lot of people.

I can quite easily hold my laughter regarding that particular jape. Nonetheless, having nothing to do with Mr. Pew di Pie is something I have managed very well on my own, thank you, Institute of Meatballs. I do not want him added to any old lists, certainly not with the implication that it is being done on my behalf and with my support. I can manage my own "People I do not wish to talk to"-list.

My problem is how society treats racists anyhow.

So I am not sure how I feel about any institution just pedestaling someone as racist.

At least Trump was trying to be President.

I think the biggest problem is that people have gotten so zealous about calling people racist, yet they don't admit their own prejudices. The whole "black people can't be racist" thing.

scratch what I originally wrote.  that was incendiary when all i want to do is foreward a point.

the problem with racism in america is how it has become a buzzword.  racism is something to hunt for instead of something to be wary of.

erm.  we seek out racists and use it for validation and social repore.  and when it is present we use the fact to ignore anything else and godwin.  logic is not involved.

worse, we obfuscate the lines of racism and other factors.  we can have little progress because we dont want progress.  we want a witch hunt

I find it funny that before this witchhunt the general consensus is that you fight racism with education.

Now? BURN THE WITCH! That person incorrectly assumed that Slums foster criminals!

It's ... sad that JonTron and Pewdiepie are the "well-known individual"s, and the scientist Richard Dawkins didn't make the cut.

I'm going to bet you that if you poll random street people who aren't gamers or internet kiddies, many more are going to know who Richard Dawkins is, a few will have heard of pewdiepie, and almost none with know who jontron is.

Yeah, JonTron has 3 million youtube subscribers, but that's 3 million out of a world population of 7 billion ...

I mean, Dawkins hasn't done anything I've heard about recently, in biology or euphoria. Like a lot of people, he seems to have been absorbed whole by Twitter.

who is Richard Dawkins and what is a Jontron?

Richard Dawkins is a biologist who did some pretty important work in the field a few decades ago, and has spent the rest of his career trying to eradicate the concept of religion from the world.


Jontron is a guy who plays games on Youtube.
