Do You Suffer From 'White Guy Smile'?

When you pass a person of color on the street, do you give them the "white guy smile"? Congratulations, you're racist! If you look at a person of color, you're racist. If you don't look at them, you're racist. If you sort of look at them, then look away, you're still racist. If you keep looking at them, well, damn you, you racist!

Never look a wild animal in the eye and definitely do not smile.

Showing your teeth is interpreted as an act of aggression.

I look at whom I want, I smile for whom I want and do as I feel like. I cross the street when there is a group of colored men because I have been attacked three times already by North African men. I don''t care if people label me "Racist". I was born in France, a White country and I was not a racist like most of my People. Nina Simone came to live the last years of her life in France because French people were not racists. Today, I want my country back the way it was when I was a child. I want mass immigration to stop and I want reverse migration of all colored people who hate France and French people. So, yes, I am a "racist" !

A saw my reflection this morning so I'm now on my way to report a hate crime against my white half for a microaggression against my middle eastern half.

I am proud to be white and would never change it

[Anarkix]

why do they get the phrase "person of color" (which btw sounds a lot like colored people) when we just get called "white guys"? we need an appropriate phrase, like "people of civility"

Portlandia. Just remember, they're going into debt to get this kind of enlightenment.

[reaverman]

well colour me racist....this is ludicrous!

[defeet]

All I heard was "blah blah, meta narrative, waffle waffle, blah blah, things of that nature, the narrative"

[poopoo-gsim]

I am not going to stop smiling at people. If they are offended by it, they can move to Russia.

Educators re-engineering society... universities not held accountable for the damage it causes

[cosmokramer]

Dude, what the fuck? I'm black and how the fuck does a smile make someone racist? I am genuinely

[NosterTheToaster]

Why would anyone even think about offending somebody just by crossing the street?

[TrunkMonkey]

I always cross on the other side of the street to get away from untouchables!

So many times, I see these videos and consider how enjoyable it would be to just be there with a cooler of beer and a lounge chair and just sit and laugh and enjoy.

[Sherbud]

So after crossing the street when the black gang is down the road and then going back and walking up to them to explain that you weren't trying to be racist, do you think you'll walk away from that without being harassed, beaten or mugged?

If a white guy smiles in an empty room is he racist? give a tug on your thoughtful beard for me will you and get back to me on that one.

"I, like, you know, like it's not like, you know, like, ice cream like, I'm a dipshit, like, stab me in the eye, like, I am useless kill me now, like..."
How many fucking times can these people say like? They obviously never listen to themselves or take a moment to think before they speak. The worst of them repeat "like" and "you know" (or "ya know") in every sentence spoken.
I often wonder if they can form a sentence without "like" in it. I bet if they were unable to use the word like their heads would explode.

I'm going to make a black T-shirt with the word "Racist" in white-block-lettering on the front.  The word and concept has become so hilarious that I can't help but laugh when somebody uses it seriously, now.

[Boneskullzy]

We do it because you don't smile at us, so we meet you halfway.

Dr. King was going to get around to this issue, it was just on the back burner. I guess when I'm in the Caribbean, I'm going to start wondering if I'm getting the "Black Guy Smile". We're not in Kansas anymore, Lions and Tigers and Smiles, oh my!
