Specifically targeting two Asian politicians depicted as coconuts? Yep you’re racist.
As she should, I’ve seen people call this description out as a racist term long before these protests started. Trying to dismiss someone’s identity because they don’t have the appropriate sociopolitical outlook you think that identity should have is racist.
I wonder what the *2-Tear* policing crowd will make of this?
You have around a 95 per cent chance at the moment of getting away with phone theft, violent robbery, rape….and meanwhile the courts are being clogged up with this.
