I can totally see your point, and from the number of people asking why it’s racist on the thread, I guess some people see it and some don’t. Admittedly it’s not as explicit as some other things he’s said and done. But I’m assuming he’s wily enough to know to pull that shit back given the position he currently gingerly…
I think as someone stated above, it’s more a broader definition of racism that includes bigotry, Maybe seeing the full quote would help. From the linked article, he said:
Oh haw-haw, you’re right, of course Mr. Jeff, we just didn’t get the joke. Just like when I say:
As a transcriber can I just say, I feel the AP transcriber’s pain, and also, they couldn’t pay me enough to put my brain through that. It’s not worth my sanity.
I didn’t know that either! I’m learning all kinds of new mother-daughter info today lol.
Oh wow! I didn’t know that, how awesome. Mother-Daughter Injustice Fighting Team, I LOVE it.
I posted this reply over on the Root article about the Racial Discrimination lawsuit, but I think it’s also appropriate here:
Yeehaw! Let’s keep this train rollin’! (The exposés and lawsuits I mean, not the actual harassing lol)

I hope these just keep on coming. Not because I wish more people were harassed, but because we know they exist, and up till now they were either too afraid to step forward or were silenced or disbelieved when they did.

Maybe as a gag gift. But depending on where you are, you will either attract the wrong kind of positive attention, or a lot of dirty looks and double takes lol. It would pretty much be only wearable around friends who get it, and not in public. Pretty limited use, so I think you made the right choice.
Depends on your relationship. Can you get away with a HELLLL NO! Or do you have to be more diplomatic about it?
Good for you! You’re gonna rock that bikini! Healthy is always the best look. This gives me inspiration to work my way there too.
