{{quote|"[...]
Jynx [from ''[[Pokémon]]''] has nothing to do with [[blackface]]. Its look is based on a creature from Japanese folklore, as well as the "[[w:Ganguro|ganguro]]" fashion trend that started in Japan around the time Pokemon debuted there (which in itself was a protest against the cultural expectation of Japanese women to have pale, white skin).
Since there are very few black people in Japan, there was no such thing as black slaves, Jim Crow laws, or minstrel shows in Japan, so they have no context for blackface in the first place. Only people as arrogant as SJWs have taken it upon themselves to tell another race what their culture really meant and how civilized whiteys like them can show the backwards neanderthals how the thing they've been doing for thousands of years is problematic."

{{quote|"Of course everything is racist. It’s [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/come-on-its-2015-current-year ‘current year’], after all. You’re a racist. I’m a racist. [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-the-frog Frogs] are racist. [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Echidnas]] are racist. [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/hms-coolest-monkey-in-the-jungle-ad Monkeys] are racist. Pick a thing and show a picture of it to the internet, and someone with a blog will call it racist, followed by [[CNN]] reporting that the thing is now being blamed for inspiring hate crimes.
This is outrage culture. Nobody can just chill and casually disapprove of something anymore while keeping their mouth shut and avoiding said thing. [[All Issues Are Political Issues|Everything has to turn into a crusade]]. And if you don’t publically [sic] speak out against this thing, you are part of the problem and your mass public shaming via social/traditional media outlets is completely justified."
