Yo, Is This Racist?

Yo, ask me if something is racist and I'll tell you. If it's absolutely necessary for you to know, I'm not white.

leaf asked: Yo, is Boris Hoppek racist? People say he’s just German and commenting on the conflicts of a white post-modern national Germanic identity. Also, that he appropriates blackface/Sambo imagery to challenge racism. However, I suspect those images aren’t his to appropriate, and that this motherfucker is really just 1) too lazy to challenge racism in a thoughtful way and 2) racist as shit. Also, the fuck is this shit? See attached picture: “Obama beach ball”. Yo, this question kind of turned into more ‘Let Me Tell You About Some Racist Shit’, more than ‘Yo, Is This Racist?’ Look, either way, you’re probably not wrong, but the thought of doing any research to have an informed opinion about this wack-ass art makes me want to kill myself.
