#racist caricature

[vsthepomegranate]

"Ben-Tor posted the clip on October 19 to the Instagram account she runs with fellow Israeli artist and collaborator Miki Carmi. In the video, the artist delivers a sarcastic monologue while wearing a mask that many on social criticized as (is) a “racist caricature” of Arabs or Palestinians. Some critics used the term (this racist performance trope is called) “Arabface” in describing the artist’s performance... Past works by (Tamy) Ben-Tor show her caricaturing Arab people; in what appears to be the artist’s YouTube channel chronicling her performances, one video uploaded in 2012 shows Ben-Tor in the guise of a character she calls “Dr. Hammam, Middle East expert and civil rights activist” who makes anti-Jewish remarks. In another piece, from 2004, Ben-Tor appears to play the role of Hitler while wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh. In a 2005 video titled “Girls Beware,” Ben-Tor again dresses as an Arab man, this time delivering catcalls, then makes anti-Arab comments while playing the role of a sex worker."

the idea of transsexuality existing in qunari society with the aqun-athlok is sooo fascinating to me that i wish it would be explored more in-universe without it becoming intensely racist and islamophobic but because of that i know this is all wishful thinking </3

I've been watching the adventures of tintin 1991 with my sister and were watching the blue lotus part 2 and when Chang showed up I literally sat up in my chair and pointed at the screen like he was a famous actor. He has entered my brain forever, and I have you to thank for it.

for a character that popped up for only two adventures he left quite an impact on me too. I can imagine he'd make quite an impression when staying over in Belgium and making some appearances in the paper!

my sister was studying the opium trade and its links with colonialism so we were watching the 1991 cartoon episodes for The Blue Lotus and The Crab with the Golden Claws. I remember a) cringing every time Mitsuhirato appeared b) cringing at the voice they decided to give Chang and c) my sister turning around and looking at me every time a Chinese Musical Sting™ would play (we're Chinese)

hey! as the first season of connor bedard gets underway i, your local indigenous hockey fan, have a request of you: please don't let this kid's sure to be marvellous and jaw-dropping rookie season make you complacent with the racism of the blackhawks as an organization. it is beyond heinous that they were able to secure the first overall pick this year for a number of reasons i'm sure we're all familiar with, but i am pleading with the hockey community not to let the racism of this org fall through the cracks.

they drafted connor bedard and handed him a jersey with a giant racist caricature on the front. their mascot is named tommy hawk. they continuously fail to curtail their fans' egregious displays of anti-indigenous racism at games.

i'm not going to ask anyone not to post about bedard. i know he's huge news and i'm bummed as all hell that i won't be able to enjoy the beginning of what is sure to be an incredible career myself. but i am asking, given that his presence on the team is likely to increase the prevalence of people making and reblogging posts about the blackhawks, that you please care, loudly and actively, about the racism of this organization and how much it hurts indigenous fans to see that go unquestioned so often.

consider mentioning it in posts. consider amplifying the voices of indigenous fans and community members about the issues of these types of sports organizations. consider reading up on the history of the person they claim to 'honour' with their hideous effigy of a logo. consider censoring the logo in your posts if you are able to (please do this if you are able to). consider tagging posts so that indigenous fans are at the very least able to blacklist that team and not have to see it.

above all, please just. don't forget about it. don't forget about us. we belong here too.

Scouring the public domain for collage assets is all chill, seeing art that feels ahead of its time or really cool illustrations, all until you inevitably stumble across the most wildly racist shit you've seen and get your noggin blasted, repeat ad nauseum

hey psst c'mere... no a little closer... a little closer- there we go

Loop lips are part of a racist caricature of Black people. Stop drawing Black characters with loop lips. I don't care how they look in canon, it's racist.

okay that's all you can go

What's your lockscreen, last song you listened to, last picture taken, and last movie you watched?

(yes that's my girlfriend on my lockscreen everyone clap for her or i'll blow up this entire website)

Also:

Take a picture of the closest thing to your left, what's the last meme you saved/took a screenshot of, the most embarrassing song on your "liked songs", and the most problematic movie you still watch for nostalgia

danny phantom(the show) has a LOT of things that phandom could discuss critically (ie the suuuper blatant racism that happens but also actually good and interesting things) pero yall refuse to watch the show. like idk how many times imma beg yall to watch the source material of a fandom youre in but please do

something something engaging with media that doesnt interest you is actually good for your brain and you should do it more often so why not start in ya own damn fandom

why we have wes? bc yall dont bother to watch and realize that all the attributes u give him are literally ripped off valerie and paulina and then yall go onto rants like “but we can have both” we really cant!!!! its straight up racist what yall did to her!!! but ohhh its really not that serious cuz why would yall know if you dont watch the show!!!!!! its racist!!

the only perception yall have about the black and brown characters of danny phantom are ones pushed on yall by a majority white fandom!!!! its fucking sickenin!!!! AND ITS WHY YALL LET SO MANY DAMN ARTISTS GET AWAY WITH SKINNYFYING AND WHITEWASHING VALERIE watch the show and make your own opinions about these characters because they’re genuinely so good if you actually gave them a damn chance!!! and point out problematic shit by your fave artists just fucking do it goddamn!!!!
