Ive seen some people call it racist even though its being supported by Wakaliwood. Also Im hoping the meme is making people more aware of Who killed Captain Alex which is a great piece of independent cinema.

I believe the 'dats waycist' meme to be a pretty nice in your face to racist people.

But I haven't seen this one. You should post it. Post itttt

the only thing i really find that is sensitive about it is random kids imitating an accent from a country that's predominantly black; the meme itself i don't find racist.

it's literally a little red/blue knuckles as a warrior from uganda.

that's all.

First, I don't know the way. I've not seen that meme--or I don't really get it. Secondly, I don't believe shit fam. Meme are pretty much generalization of all the bullshitry that's happening here; close to being racist, but not really...

I don't know, man. I don't even know what's going on with this unsettling fat/midget Knuckles, or whether "dae wae" is meant literally, or whether there's something deeper going on.

I don't know about the meme itself but the clicking to communicate thing seems racist. Not that I really care but it seems to fit the description.
I've been here way too long...

The meme itself is harmless imo but some people who take it farther than just quotes from a cheesy movie (making AIDs jokes and such) are being lowkey racist.

I assume aids jokes are related to Ebola Hunter somehow.

Didn't know the name til name now. (I've seen it once or twice but never connected the dots.)

So that's what that is...

Should've figured it was a new meme. Either way, I don't find it racist. Just your typical new meme. Seems kinda weird to me but whatever, all these memes just aren't my thing.

not really no. and if it is its
just as racist as mario is in other words not even worth complaining about.

It's not racist, but it got old pretty quickly. If anything, it would've died rather soon if "games journalists" didn't demonize Ugandan Knuckles like it was blackface.
