#1 When everything is racist, the racist is scowling back at you from the mirror.

#2 Sorry dear, you've now shown the real racist is the one you see in the mirror. You think skin color is protection against ridicule that one regardless of race is subject to for such public behavior.

#6 Folks are laughing at liberal math, not at race. But liberals have no sense of humor and one card to play.

#8 Her response to our backlash is racist! Some of my best friends are black females but they can do MATH! The stupid-fu is strong with this one.
I've run out of cliches, sorry.

#13 OK, so you failed the math portion of the test. Let's see you throw a Molotov.

Note: The spider-killing and jar-opening portions of the exam have been postponed due to the global pandemic.

#14 In the past when someone did/said something stupid they' disappear from the public eye in shame for a short while until people forgot, a little.

Now they double-down on the stupid.

#15 Jeez, cultural appropriation in every direction, as far as the eye can see...

The council took time out to fume, ere it
Issued a ruling: "Don't humour it!
Who said it could pillage
Our poor little village,
This monkey that made itself numerate?"
"Now, on to the matter of this ridiculous proposal from those stupid slavers. Boy, are they dumb! We got monkeys around here smarter than them. I move we hold out for two beads per slave." "Second the motion."
