You mean a politician concocted an outrage to gain exposure and virtue signal to ensure he gets re-elected? I'm shocked.

Yes you will find racism everywhere, because it is everywhere. People tend to focus on the overt stuff and overlook the "innocent mistakes".

How is this racist? The young man of color was the one with enough sense to know not to shit in the pool.

CODE BROWN!!!

I don't think it's racist...but it's stupid. And in NZ, where social norms might differ from where I live, this could be seen as racist.
crazy3
I think it is more stupid which led to calls of racism. They were trying too hard perhaps to not be racist that it seemingly is racist...

If you have a group that is still being treated badly and you carelessly use images that keep them being treated that way that's bad.

If someone else views it as racist, is it racist?

Tamati Coffey started this? He was a weather presenter that went on be a member of parliament. He reminds me of Brick from Anchorman.

I always upvote New Zealand even when it’s for something like this which I’m not sure how to feel about it being a middle aged white Guy.

This happens so often that you need to tell people not to do it?? WTF New Zealand?

Not unusual to have signs. Trying to make it not racially insensitive brought up issues of race. And the inevitable pulling it down.

Yes racism exists but many people who scream about crap like this are just looking for attention.

Your mom and dad didn't teach you how to be thoughtful. That is very sad. You can still learn.

What are you talking about, teaching kids not to shit in pools.
MadKraken
In an effort to improve cleanliness, some public pools require you to use their showers before swimming. This is probably a similar idea.

Shit before you swim, apparently

How is this racist? Don’t shit in the pool! That’s not racist. It’s hygiene.

One of the signs is just this. It could be construed as racist. Enough where I could see them just pulling it down.

Really? To me this is just someone trying to make something out of nothing. Whatever, people are gonna be weird.

Maybe its the "Code Brown" term used in the full sign someone thought someone would be offended by? Dunno, its odd.

How the fk is this racist?, it seems like really good advice.

Would’nt it be racist AS WELL if the two characters were exchanged ?

Still two kids of different colors !

The two kids are of different sex ! And one is commenting !

If you can’t see the racism in it, ur a racist (sjw logic)

Lol..I would say if someone sees this and thinks its racist then it's them who immediately judged the situation by the colour of a kids skin

What's the opposite of sjw? Antisocial Injustice bedwetter? I'm so sick of the term "sjw" it's what antisocial Injustice bedwetters use.

Your opinion doesn't matter. Thus, the sjw derogatory term.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Its not even social justice, its fascism.
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
I've seen SQW used in a couple of places. Stands for "Status Quo Warrior"
Hextant
the word you're looking for in this instance is asocial. antisocial is not the opposite of social. while sjws surely have some kind weird
Hextant
mental health issues they need to address, it's generally not antisocial personality disorder.

Sjw isn't really a thing is my point. It's a word that people who want to be racist or sexist use when they throw a tantrum.

Clearly the white person is telling him to use the segregated bathroom as the pool is where only whites get to pee.

It isn't. I presume since the dark skinned character is being warned by the lighter someone overthought it.

I get that, but if you were going to use a color code for shitting in the pool, people would likely say "Why not Code Brown?" and giggle.

Best I've got is because it features a white person telling a brown person what to do

It... features a brown person? And has them not be completely perfect? I've got nothing.

They call pooping in the pool a "code brown" and I guess someone's gonna find a way to connect that to the brown kid.
NZSheeps
But this is NZ. If it only had white people on the sign people would complain.

Happens in the US too. Under representation. The white person has to be the one being told. To be fair, I bet 90% of the Maori don't care.
