I agree Mike, most of the world takes things far too seriously, the photo is funny full stop, People then see it is a black guy because their mind subtley does so without the person first thinking "why am I finding this wrong", and not Usain Bolt, the fastest man at 100m SPRINT!
The in lies the irony of humour, throw in what people feel is politically correct and not just taking things as humour and not racism.
This may seem racist for some in America, not in Europe. I didn't see a black man, but the worlds fastest sprinter.
Also people read too much into anything, which I agree, and this may just make this a little more sterile boring world.
This whole is this or that racist or not is a build up of the last 50 years or so equality winning through, then turning back on those who commentate on images, actions etc. to question their own motives, which is why in the UK we are finding us as ethnic caucasians feeling like a minority in our own country, sad but true.
And no, I am not racist before anyone questions me.
elements in society are so blatantly racist it is hard to ignore, and easy say if it is wrong. I am sorry Harry, but the comment you made and how your words made someone feel are wrong, not that you made them and questioned the validity of Lunksters post, but that society and histories actions have made your mind come to the comment itself. I guess I am trying to say it is not anyones fault for creating this image of the fastest man alive chasing a girl with some food (who just happens to be white, and a little more solid than most).
We can only surmise on who and why they made this image if it wasn't Lunkster. Was it a racist comment, or made to make us think about stereotypes?
Or just for fun and 2 images they could find on the WWW?
Who knows!
You may shoot me for any comment I have made above, it is just summantics.
