@em @CheeseMonster okay i really don't wanna joke about it but what gets me isn't the part where they say the racist thing, it's the jolly laugh afterward. like they enjoy being racist that much

@em @realtoddhoward @CheeseMonster well, the song is turkey in the straw, which doesn't have racist history to my knowledge. Folk music like that has a long history of having a billion different variations of lyrics

@em @realtoddhoward @CheeseMonster actually, i missed the part of the article saying the tune was popularized in the US by minstrel shows, so yeah, there's no denying that it is at least tied to racism like literally everything else in this country

@em @realtoddhoward @CheeseMonster the article mentioned another set of lyrics, which i'm putting here for educational purposes. as the CW says, this song is racist and includes racist lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqNBegibH64

all i'm saying is that this shit is so pervasive something as innocuous as the fucking ice cream song, or the inherent whiteness of an anime avatar are two symptoms of the same disease
