  First of all: My main issue was the photographing of a kid without obvious consent. The racism, as I said in the first post, is only the “garnishment.”

  But still, its there. On a sub line. And Im willing to believe that the author isnt aware of the possibilty to interpret it this way. Its kinda nice, that you dont see this issue too. You have kinda “freed” yourself from this point of view. But on the other hand, you should be aware, that some poeple, with diferent bias, see things different. And if a right wing author would have posted this online, you would’ve thought about the post diferent too, I assume.

  I dont want to write a detailed analysis of the picture to frame out every issue in detail and combined and write every possible interprations down, but I try to summarize it.

  In this picture, a Kid, read as an Asian originated 13 year old boy, is photograhed. Obviously without clear consent. This is humilating for the kid and you could see this as an act of showing off power to him. He is quiet young and still has to work in the family bussines to keep it running. The family is very likely to be in need for customers, so he to needs to act as an servant and is unlikely to stand up for himself. The kid looks kinda nerdy and fulffills this way the cliche of the dilligent Kid from an asian family. The author isnt picturized, but the caption is in english and uses some kind of slang of the white majority for the offered food.

  Or in short terms: A white person in power is humilating a servant, looking like a cliche-asian-kid.

  Do you see it now?

  Yeah, its all a interpretation. But the picture is either playing with this assumptions or is at least tolerating them. If you want to do this joke without this … stale aftertaste(?), you have to set frame different

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can often see the same picture in diferent ways. A well excuted joke is playing the diferent bias and point of views. I dont accuse the author to be a racist. Its think its just insensitive and unaware. Probably my coment(s) are leading to some thoughts and some kind of reflection. And if the author in the end decides its still a good joke, fair enough. There a lot more shitty “comedians” out there. I wont mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah sure. Could be. But on the other hand, you felt the urge to coment too. I could ask you the same question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its an assumption the picture is sugesting. A small, unpolished family bussines, where the kids have to work in after school to keep it running. If this business fails, the family usually fails. You have to work your arse off, to avert this. On daily basis, your whole live. Ive grown up in such a family. You can romanticize this, but in the end, you are living on the edge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing jokes on racial cliches, even if the cliches are positive, are still racist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So the picture of a 13(?) year old kid inside a unpolished takeaway with the text “better done his homework” is a glorification of “family owned asian cuisine”? I dunno. I think this would look different

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so explain the joke to me. On what lvl is it supposed to work then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a Joke about a family living on the edge of poverty. The kids have to work in the business instead of doing their homework in a quiet place or go playing. And the joke is not working on the level “were are all in this shit hole together”, this would be fine. No it the arrogant “hey look at this poor kid living in this shit hole. Hahaha. Now bring me my food” level.

  The racism is just the garnishment on top. Playing the cliches of people from asia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better have done his homework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont understand this kind of photos. Why do you just photgraph random people and load it up to the internet? Especially if they are a kids/teenagers and are feelling obviously unwell about it …Kind of a dick move. And Im not talking about the arrogant joke garnished with racism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nicole has taken a dark turn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow. I already didnt get the “joke” with her(?) spamming. It seemed a little sleazy to me making fun of her in any way. But now with gore pictures? Disgusting.

  Hopefully its just fake and the person is in good health. If there is a possibility of the pictures beeing real, I would recommend contacting the locals authorities too.

  Sadly i have no picture of this shirt :\

  Reminds me of: My ex-girlfriend came from an Airbus-Family. Like her Dad beeing an proud Airbus-Worker and Union-Member, her brother learning at the company, the family taking only Airbus-Flights etc. One of her sleeping shirts was an old union-shirt from airbus. A comic of an A380 fucking a 747. I assume (or hope?) it was consensual, but the A380 was definitely the dominant part. A weird picture: Her, wearing only this oversized shirt
