Is this racist?

I think you're on to something. The guy who designed Gritty is a PSU grad. He must have had bad intentions for that abomination of a mascot.

Allen, a Penn State alum, said a representative from the Flyers organization reached out to him over the summer after seeing the campaign he did for Chick-fil-A promoting the Georgia vs Auburn football game last season. The Flyers gave him a list of about 10 ideas, and he did a 30-minute sketch of each of those ideas, and about 20 mascots in total.

Oh no! He also did work for Chick-fil-A. That seals it!

Just kidding. Some things are just funny. This is one of those things.

Is this racist?

No. It’s funny. Skin color has nothing to do with it. I’ve said it to white men. If you think it’s racist you’re racist (you second person plural).

 

[GreggK]

No. It’s funny. Skin color has nothing to do with it. I’ve said it to white men. If you think it’s racist you’re racist (you second person plural).

This is logical to them actually. Pointing out that a specific person using specific language as being racist, and they see themselves in that, means they have to discredit it by calling everything sarcastically racist.

Childish and illogical as it is.

Is this racist?

Yes. Everything is.

 

[NittPicker]

Is this racist?

Yes it's racist. It's racist against weird looking mascots. And I'm a Flyers fan.

 

[mn78psu83]

Yes. Everything is.

Stop being "childish and illogical." Stick to discussions surrounding the Avogradro Constant and Moles. Be serious Bob!

Muppets have hated real people for generations, but it’s gotten worse lately as you see here. Really bold to put it on a sign. Really sad.

Oh geez, in light of the endless conversations earlier this week I thought I’d stir the pot in a case where it would be safe.

Everything is racist.

Are you saying that Muppets aren't real people??

Isn't America wonderful

Is this racist?

I'm sure someone somewhere thinks it is.

Are you a muppet? Is that why you took it personally?

She ain’t aging well

 

[Nitt1300]

used to be- maybe?

 

[AWS1022]

used to be- maybe?

Won’t be again...people are way too thin skinned and entitled.

Israelis aren't- maybe it's their universal service that toughens them up.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

She ain’t aging well

Who’d have thunk it?

 

[mn78psu83]

Who’d have thunk it?

I wonder how much titanium she's carrying around with her? She put together a series of hellish injuries at an age when most skiers are retired.
