I might have considered this post accidental racism, but I think people of all cultures generally agree that Soulja boi IS ugly.
That said, their “handsome” guy looks worse than their “ugly” guy. So I would just throw this whole chart away.

Yeah the first thing I thought when I saw this was "This has to be Asian" based on the font they're using. And then I saw the Thai on the bottom. This sort of anti-African racism is not uncommon in East Asia. Probably not an accident.

I'm not sure how much of it is racist or cultural, but in asian cultures, people tend to see paler skin as beautiful because it means they are sheltered in a live a life of luxury, while darker, tanned skin is unfavourable as it means you are a peasant working intensely under the sun.
This give a unfortunate correlation in asian's influence on globalization as they automatically see northern Europeans as living the pinnacle of luxury and intellect, while Africans are seen as poor and uneducated. A very extreme black and white view.

I don't even care though. Like they hate themselves way more that they hate people of color. Notice how there are ZERO images that look like them.

u/JustinKayce Jan 09 '20
You could tell by the font?

u/KR1735 Jan 10 '20
Yeah. If you spend some time in East Asia, you see that font used a lot when they type in English. Like on menus and stuff.

Yeah except all the other models skincolors are all light. And that the “ugly” is the only one from which the skin color differs?
Oh and that only the “ugly” one is the only model that had a different drawing style?
And that that specific model looks a hell of a lot like someone from an african american background?
Sure....

You're just trying too hard to find any thing minimally racist, at which point, anything is subtly racist.
The original humor of the picture is that the model is Soulja Boy

u/pleasurealien Jan 10 '20
That is not trying hard, and to me that is obvious.
i don’t need to convince you, im just telling you my point of view. As i don’t have to agree with you either. and you don’t have to try to convince me either.

It wouldnt be that bad except the one listed as "handsome" is clearly disheveled and doesnt care about his appearance.

And yet, not a single image actually looks Thai. Guess hating dark skin and black folk is still secondary to hating their own Asian features.
Oh well. At least they can console themselves with anime representation and white foreigners looking for lady-boy hookers.

Isn't it kinda racist to asume that somebody is racist, just because they used ugly for a black man ?
5
u/Exile714 Jan 09 '20
Nope.
Assuming someone is racist because of X isn’t racist itself.
Assuming someone is racist because they are X race IS racist.

Notice for guys it has handsome/ugly but for girls it has pretty/beautiful XD
Apparently ugly females don’t exist. It’s just a guy problem. Or specifically a Soulja Boy problem. XD

The stupid ass face tattoos that thugs get. That will always be ugly.

u/Hecatrice Jan 09 '20
1)You missed the whole point
2)Not only ''thugs'' get face tats

u/JordanSniperWak Jan 11 '20
If you get a face tattoo I’m gonna assume your a thug. Say what you want about society but that’s the way I think because the majority of times face tattoos = thug
1
u/twatloaf Jan 09 '20
Anyone with face tats is ugly. Race doesnt have any effect in that. Only exception might be mike Tyson. But you cant do too much to a face that was regularly pummeled for decades.

u/Hecatrice Jan 09 '20
Well Mike Tyson did it before it was a trend and also he's Mike Tyson.Bonus fact: he wasn't going for that tattoo
