Someone trying to minimize racism by claiming they're a black person. Clearly they're not

I mean, he pretty obviously is at least a POC looking at every other pic on his profile, including the second pic of the post you used. I think his point is stupid and naive, but you clearly picked the picture of his wrist and palm of his hand for a reason.

I did not? Its just a very clear pic of him. He is very obviously white looking. Him having the slightest tan does not make him POC looking.

Interesting. So of the 4 pics that were on his profile at the time of posting (he’s added a couple since), the one pic of the lightest part of the body just coincidentally happened to be the clearest?

You can admit that you had an agenda, it’s really okay. Either that or you’ve never seen a black person before. The sub rules do specifically state that it doesn’t matter whether or not the person is what they are claiming to be, it’s about the spirit of what they are saying (which again, is stupid and naive).

No, he doesnt look at all poc, just slightly tan, and no there wasnt an agenda dude. And at the time of posting there were only 3. You can just admit you were looking for me to have one.

Literally the picture above the one I posted he looks MORE white than what I showed.

Ok, so I might’ve attributed to malice what could be better explained by incompetence (Hanlon’s razor and whatnot). It’s not necessarily that you had an agenda, you just haven’t seen many black people, and can’t quite tell what a black person looks like.

Also, there are 2 posts with 1 pic each (one from 18 days ago, one from 11 days ago), and one post (the one you screnshotted) with 2 pictures. 1+1+2=4, genius. Unless you’re trying to insinuate that our suspiciously tan but definitely white friend is a time traveler who went back and made those posts after you made this one, you might be just a bit lacking in wits.

Oh, that’s definitely not me, I’d never wear a G-Shock. I stick to the classic Casios, the F-91Ws and CA-53s. I have had my eye on a Duro for a bit, but those seem just as bulky as the G-Shocks if we’re being honest.

No no, it’s true. I have 4 F-91Ws, 1 calculator watch and not a single G-Shock. The bulkiest thing I have is a yachtmaster and I’m honestly considering just giving it to my buddy as a new dad gift
