Literally everyone poops in some fashion or another, and it all smells bad, so how could anyone possibly be bothered by it.

For the love of all that's good in this world, just let it end. Enough already.

Have the supposed racist origins of the term dunk or tank been explained yet?

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Yes.

CW: racism, racist language

The African dodger, also known as Hit the Coon, was a popular American carnival game from the late 19th century up to the mid-1940s. It involved an African-American man sticking his head out through a hole in a curtain and trying to dodge balls thrown at him. Hits were rewarded with prizes. People were seriously injured or reportedly even killed after being struck. In response to attempts to ban it, a less dangerous game was invented called the African dip, in which a person was dropped into a tank of water if a target was hit by a ball.

Yeah and it was way stronger than I suspected. I admit the first time I read "dunk tanks are racist" I rolled my eyes cuz fucking yankkks turned even the word "boy" into racism

I'm not diminishing the racism of the word "boy", I'm actually surprised yanks are so racists they can turn everything into racism
