Transcript

5 things that are NOT racist ... but seem racist (PART 5) 5 things that are unequivocal NOT racist. But still give me that vibe. Number one. Calling the TV remote "the clicker." Actually, I think I know what it is about that one that maybe feels a little racist. Maybe listen again and you'll hear it. Number two. Having a really expensive flashlight. You know, just it's powerful as fuck. You could run it over with a tank and this thing would still shine bright as fuck. You can't blind someone with it, you can't get someone's eyes or you'll go blind. You gotta give that one to me, come on. You gotta give that one to me. Number three. Refusing to use an umbrella. I don't know. Don't ask me. It's just in there. Number four. Having an opinion on the different military branches. Bonus points if you've never even served. What what's with that? Criticizing the whole thing or having an opinion on the different military branches. Singling out people too. I don't know. Number five. Having any type of camo clothing that ISN'T the realistic kind of camo. So like the kind of camo that looks like a picture of like trees and shit. That's not giving me racist energy as much as like the fucking graphic design like blob camo shit. I don't even know what to call it. It's horrendous. And it also makes me think that maybe, you know, you're just a racist piece of shit.
