    I’m not familiar with the meme template and didn’t see the wizards at first, so initially I thought it’s racist af.

    Now I fully agree though. FFT did it best imo.

      Oh my god, that never even crossed my mind, but I see how you could have thought that.

      Yes, this is just a popular meme format!

        It’s ok, some people see racism in everything. It’s hard just being human if you have to constantly second guess everything just incase it might seem racist. It’s only racist if it was intentional.

          Meh, hard disagree. Outright intentional racism (and of other forms of hate) are terrible, but at least they’re openly visible.

          The more dangerous form is the everyday unintentional ingrained beliefs that people have even against their core values, like how I am more impressed by a female programmer or the way I at first misread that meme.

          It’s those that are more widespread and make it so much harder to eradicate the openly intentional hate.

        Yeah it didn’t help that I was half asleep. Just found it funny enough to be shared; of course didn’t wanna imply anything.
