Totally. It's a racist insult. Oreo is another one. This woman 100% intended "coconut" as a racist insult, and it's hilarious watching her try to spin it as being a protest against white supremacist political policies.
Back in the day when there were goths at school, I was walking with one of my Chinese friends. He seems a couple of Asians hanging out with the trenchcoat kids with safety pins in their clothes, etc. He spits and says "Fucking bananas. Yellow trash."
I find moments of honest racism like this reassuring. Emphasis on honest.
"There are some experts who might say they find the placard to be racially inappropriate, even racist."
"Even though some language may be pejorative, it doesn't make it racist. Coconuts--brown on the outside, white supremacist values on the inside."
Coconuts--brown on the outside, white supremacist values on the inside
This is the funniest shit I've ever listened to.
I'm not surprised. We call Chinese ppl who act white bananas
