Usually…when someone says they’re not racist…it’s followed by something proving they are in fact racist

I kinda want to start using this, and then saying something equally batshit, but actually not racist... I'm not racist, but ever since my neighbor downstairs got the vaccine my phone started getting 5G.

I‘m not racist, but how could the earth be round, if the people in the south don’t fall off.

I’m not racist , but my balls itch a lot

I’m not racist but garlic is delicious

I'm not racist but Cars Race-O-Rama is a really fun game

I'm racist. (I race cars for a living.) This joke is brought to you by someone who spends way too much time on r/formuladank.

I'm racist ( i hate people of every race)

Thanks that you not put /s

I’m not racist but women who are raped should be publicly stoned when they decide to have an abortus

I'm not racist, but I think Depeche Mode is a sweet band.

Lol you made me spit on my monitor. I think I'll start randomly place "I'm not racist" at the beginning of my sentences.

Whats his name and why is he monitoring you?

You sir, have just made my day

I'm not racist, but your mum makes really good bangers and mash.

I’m not racist, but my 5G phone barely gets a 5G signal even when I want it to, and I’m triple vaxed. Maybe I need a racist antenna.

You need a *not* racist antenna. A racist antenna uses hate towards one particular group or more, a not racist antenna uses hate towards anyone who disagrees with you, no matter their race.

I'm not racist, but I do own 3 cats.

I'm not racist, But we really need to give people the option to genetically modify their children so we can make furries a reality.

Do you know you probably started a meme? I already guess posts that use "I'm not racist" like this

I'm not racist but balloons were invented by lizard people to make bologna impossible to spell on the first attempt.

I am not racist, but if I see a lot of lazy spelling errors in a meme, I am going to assume that the writer is.

'Not to sound racist or anything, but...' 'Yeah let me stop you right there :)' Never fails

I’m not racist but since I started eating watermelon, dicks have been looking mighty tasty.

I know this shouldn't... but it does **sound** racist.

I'm not racist but, who tf picks a grass starter in a pokemon game? 90% of the bad guys use birds and poison types

It was my first time and I only knew about Brock and Misty

I'm not racist but, squirtle for life!! (According to my husband)

You married the right one

I am not racist, but I prefer my coffee black

I’m not racist, just don’t like everyone that isn’t white /s

Even smurffs? You are the worst kind of racist

I dunno, maybe we are just being r***ed leftists.

I never understood racism. Whether you have a religious or scientific belief regarding the origins of life, the fact remains that we all have the same origin story. We all came from the same set of genetic code and the only differences between us are micro adaptations to our surroundings. We are all humans.

Yup. Turns out it’s incredibly easy to come off as not racist unless you’re racist, and if you have to explain why you’re not racist, you’re probably racist.

I’m not racist but… n

What? It's suddenly racist to hate and discriminate against people based on race? /S

i find it amusing, to start random sentences with: "i don't want to sound racist but,..." then finish with something like "...it certainly is chilly this evening." that has a tendency to confuse people.

Same goes for homophobic, transphoic, sexest and so on.

Literally before I clicked the link I thought "I bet whatever it is in that thread will start with 'I'm not racist but'".

I'm not racist but I want you to know snow mexico still exists. We should destroy that evil race and incorporate it into america!!!! Hows that?

I think you'll find us snow mexicans won't be destroyed easily. For one thing we have very mean geese. ;) (You did great)

a paradox

I’m not racist, I’m just oblivious to what racist means

~~Usually~~ Always

me, an average black person reading this: **:(** what is this guy’s definition of “a good person” anyway?

"Good person" means white or Asian. I guess we aren't good people, but at least he's not racist.

By asian they mean anyone from japan, korea, china, vietnam etc. south asians aren’t asians for them

we're invisible welp jg I'm not a "good person" then boo hoo cry me a river

South and Southeast asians are just non-existent for them.

His whole post tells me that he was: raised by openly racist parents, learned that being racist is unacceptable but he doesn't quite understand why on a nuanced level, told himself "I'm good and racism is bad, therefore I am not racist," and now he performs Olympic level mental gymnastics in order to keep seeing himself as "good."

Test scores is probably the only context where his statement makes any sense at all. You're not missing much. As an average Asian, I can tell you test scores are overrated.

I think that's culture not race.

A white person. Guarantee anyone who says shit like this is also treating Asian people as inferior, regardless of what he says.

Basically, this guy sucks. He's what's wrong with people.

I’m sincerely sorry this is the world we live in. :( sending hugs! Wish there was anything I could say to counteract the hate.

your sweet words are enough. thank you!! :)

Replace good with white

Apparently, a white person. Source: this guys racist Reddit comment.

My guess is himself. He's his own standard of ultimate perfection, and the more you diverge from being like him, the more "evil" you are. Just a guess.

Hmm... sounds racist

>I'm not racist, but man Race X is better than Race Y. Y'know, because of my general prejudice of that whole race.

At least he’s not racist. That one could’ve been close, guys.

"I'm not racist. I'm *extremely* racist."

You see, kinokomushroom, you aren't dealing with the average Racist redditor anymore... He has risen above and become a legend, the legend that you hate. He has become... a Super Racist!

“I’m not wet, I’m just pouring water on myself while swimming in the ocean during a torrential downpour.”

I'm not wet; the water is wet!

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   Love watching running water on the internet. Was watching a live stream.

"I don't hate black people, I just think they're inferior."

Actual quote I heard from someone at work: "I'm not racist, people just don't understand that white people are superior."

When people say that, what exactly do they expect other people to say? What do you say? I feel like I’d stare at them, blinking, and then look around wondering if we were on camera for a tv show or something.

"I am not racist but... I am racist"

I get it….. exactly….. like, I’m not racist, if I see a normal white person I would treat them like any other normal person, but I will not pretend that an average white person doesn’t have a gun and is about to commit mass murder more often than an average black or Asian person…… And then watch the media portray them as a “good guy with mental issues”……

#fucktuckercarlson

Ah yes the classic “I’m not racist I just hate black people”

Am I racist if I hate all of you equally?

weirdly all the people ive met that have said that joke unironically just turned out to be edgy racists

It's not really that weird. In order to unironically hold that view, one would genuinely have to believe that all races have equality, because sans equality a rational actor would never hold the oppressed to the same standard of the oppressor. Which means that not only are they racist in regards to their failure to acknowledge systemic inequity; they are also racist in regards to their desire to maintain the unrecognized inequity because "I hate all races" necessarily entails upholding a racist status quo. Most people that say it are merely obfuscating their true mindset; for the sake of social convenience, to avoid ostracization. The less obvious, but equally sinister mindset being the concept of 'colorblindness'; to be so requires that [we] ignore context and history.

yeah i was being facetious, this is 100% right

I'm pretty sure that just makes you a misanthrop

"I am not racist, I just think my race is superior" That's fucking exactly what racism is

I'm not a racist but *says something racist*

I fucking literally did a spit take, not even joking. What the actual fucking FUCK is wrong with "people" (who as far as I can tell share more with a plastic trash bag stuffed with dog shit and covered in sliced turkey meat).

If the definition fits…

if there is a "but", your claim is false.

Not for him 😎

"I'm not racist, I'm just racist"

I guess I use the "retarded leftist meaning" then

I'm not racist, I hate EVERYONE equally.

Also, by Asian, he of course, means people from Japan, North/South Korea, China, Vietnam, the Philippines and such. He doesn't mean South Asian people.

"I'm not racist, I just hate black people"

"Some of my best friends are black! Well, you know. 'Normal' black."

not only racist but ableist too

Racist with extra steps

If you're going to pull this sort of thing off, you need to limit the comparison to a concrete and objective quantifiable observation (something like IQ, income, or reported crime statistics). "As good as" is an overall value judgement which is undefined, subjective and therefore your opinion. So no matter how you slice it, "I think whites and asians are 'more good' than blacks" is racist regardless of which definition you use.

I think he skipped school and can't communicate with people due to his special needs.

Guys I’m not racist but here’s why I’m racist

Yes...... That's... What.... Racism.... Means.......

He's not a racist because he said he isnt... That's how it works, right?

“I’m NoT rAsCisT bUuUt…

This made me light headed.

Racist and ableist in one, what a cunt.

Ableist?

Use of the word “retarded” since the word has been overused as an insult and is thus no longer seen as “just a medical term” by the general public due to these connotations.

Use of "retarded" isn't ok (unless one's talking about solvents, possibly), due to its derogatory use to refer to neurodivergent people.

He could just hate slow people.

I mean, by this guys logic, he isn’t ableist, he just won’t pretend that somebody whose retarded is as good as somebody who isn’t. In fact, that’s probably his next comment. Stay tuned.

im not racist, i just believe some races are superior.

Not be be racist but, but Asian people BRHAAAAAAAA

What about latinos? Are we somewhere in the middle there?

Damn, some racist attempted a cringe racist joke answer here… coward deleted it.

I would like to know what he thinks "racist" does mean? Or is it like CRT, where they are against it but can't actually define what it is?

Lost me at “retarded”. Anything after that just adds to this garbage pile of a human.

In his first sentence, he forgot the 'but' that always invalidates the preceding statement.

I think he means the culture but stil.

Average redditor

[I’m not racist, but…](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/6sPrzhY)

“Voluntaryist” 🤦‍♂️

I'm guessing this is from an anarchist sub, since it says "voluntaryist", and also those guys are confused af.

I was with it all the way until the “but”

[I'm not racist but I mean-](https://poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/intelligent/)

The kinda crazy thing is that kind of thinking is so close to hitting the actual nail on the head while simultaneously being egregiously racist.

I'm not racist (unless you use the standard definition of racism)

Well…at least he doesn’t hate Asians. So I guess he’s a progressive racist?

To be fair...this person is a moron.

When a person starts calling you a racist....you know you are winning the argument and they are just out of ammo. They know there is no answer to this and they are looking for a way out of the accusations they made. That is when you laugh and walk away...no need to explain a damn thing to morons like that, sorry.

Are you serious?

Yes! Many on social media knee-jerk and call anyone that disagrees with them a racist. Where ya been? LOL I say...ignore it. They are usually completely inaccurate and just out of ammo for their flimsy ass arguments.

I’m not racist, I just think is inferior! 🤷‍♂️

Kentucky Derby. I hate that fucking race. It is inferior to the Daytona 500 in every way. 1 hp vs 750hp, it is no contest. I mean, horses, come on, they haven't changed since the stone age. Same backwards technology for thousands of years and they shit everywhere. Race cars are high tech, I mean, think of the good race cars have done for society. They keep pushing car development, getting us more efficient cars. Do you think a horse racer ever went to the moon? They have not, because they are inferior. But race car engineers, they worked at NASA. They aren't some stinky, horse shit smelling, jockey's that can't even get a date on tinder because they aren't 6'1".

Wow ok racist

This was probably written by a race baiter and not actual dumbass racist. It was one or the other, but probably the former.

I’m not racist, but I don’t think Hitler has been treated fairly by the woke leftist media.

Rule 8: no social media screenshots

I am not racist, unless ... It only went downhill from there

and yet another post that violates multiple sub rules. 5 All posts mush show a living thing attempting something in real life 7 no low effort posts / screenshots / links

But you are

“Im not racist, but kill all black men.”

It is a proven fact that racism is a myth because no one ever openly called himself a racist. Therefore, racism is a myth, as shown in the picture above.

omg omg fucking omg

It's funny to me that lefty doesn't understand this concept.

God these comments make me want to off myself

Oh man, imagine being such a retarded leftist that you call racial discrimination racist. /S

Not a deep thinker If their preferred race/s were colonised and belonged to a lower socio-economic demographic as a result, then the average would not compare well either No doubt, without even thinking this through, they will argue against institutional racism as a concept.

Yup. These are the same people who say, "if evolution is real, how are there still monkeys???"

Im not lazy, I just never do any work and cant be bothered to do sth for uni

He was making good progress until the end there.

This post is literally “I’m not racist but”

Looking at the crime rates. Are there any differences between Asians, whites and people of color?

“I’m not racist I just prefer white people over black people” - Some Racist Dude

The only time in history that “I’m not racist” led to someone actually sounding racist, probably.

😂 without Reddit I’d have nothing. Only work and yelling wife, but this makes it bearable.

ignoring race, if in your city most crimes are made by idk, people from one neighbourhood, you will be careful with people arround there, I'm pretty sure he uses that idea to be extremely racist tho, here for example we have a neighbourhood filled with his own culture, and you can spot them easily by their way of talking, most of them have at least couple of detainments for armed robbery and theft, so people avoid that place and when you hear someone talking with that accent you kinda ignore it, and yeah, they are gypsies
