Playing advocate to your advocate: Then why have the category as n when all (?) others are full words or even multiple? And they are all in English, black comes to mind first for black.
Regarding the content: That would still be a questionable classification, but even more so for someone like "RETNA (Marquis Lewis)" who rarely ever seems to depict people.
All in all it’s very sketchy, though one could probably construct ways it’s not racist, and it might not even be racist, though I doubt it.
- cypress66 4y agoMaybe RETNA is mislabeled, and the general idea is to group artists with a "black style". I think the most likely scenario is that automatic's trying to group that style, which is fair and the purpose of those categories after all, and him coming from 4chan is no stranger to the n word, so that's what came to his mind.
- nightpool 4y agoAnd you still don't see how that could be considered racist, like you said in your previous comment? How "him coming from 4chan is no stranger to the n word" might be inconsistent with you "assuming the best of people."?
- cypress66 4y agoThat would be racist. Even if I think that's the most likely situation, I give him the benefit of the doubt, that's what I meant.
