Valerie Jarrett isn't white. She's a light-skinned black woman due to her mixed ancestry.
Race is based on how you look, not your ancestry. You're talking about ethnicity, not race. Her race is white, not "light skinned" lmao.
Why is one ape joke deemed okay, while another is not? They both involve appearance.
Roseanne wasn't fired for mocking someone's appearance, she was fired because her joke was shockingly racist. Obviously there's a difference.
How was it shockingly racist? She mocked a white woman for supposedly looking like an ape. Now, say he's "orange" or what-have-you, but Trump is actually a white man. So, again, what's the real difference here?
Why is one some sort of epic racist slur and the other is a-okay?
Valerie Jarrett has African-American parents and the slur referred to her parentage. This really isn't hard to understand.
How is a joke regarding an image of a white woman suddenly a slur about her parents? They're certainly not both of one race. And I hate the term "African-American" because that actually says nothing about their skin color. Elon Musk is African-American and he's whiter than I am.
It sounds like you're the one grasping for straws here. Suddenly a joke about her appearance also has to include her parents, which are obviously white or very close to being white considering Valerie's skin color. So, again, why is this racist and other ape jokes are not? Are you not allowed to use ape jokes if a person's family happens to be a different race? Your apparent line drawn between these jokes sure requires a lot of assumptions about it. Should I start assuming that calling Trump an ape is just anti-Semitic because his son-in-law happens to be Jewish?
Lol I'm not playing anymore. Obviously you understand what the difference is. Yes, it is definitely considered socially unacceptable to compare African-Americans to apes because it is a classic slur against them, and the same is not true about Caucasians. Or the unnaturally orange. Also you can't seem to decide for yourself whether the slur was about her appearance or something else (it's like it changes depending on the situation). You can figure that out or not, I really don't care.
But she's white so what exactly is your point? Again, should I start assuming people who insult Trump just hate all white people just because?
I've known black people who hate white people.
Some black people insult Trump.
Therefore if a black person insults Trump, they hate all white people.
This makes sense because I'm Roundy.
