Unabomber Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 You mean the picture on the wall? Doesn't look that offensive, just 3 women sitting on chairs, I certainly don't see why it is sparking outrage.
Steven Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 If it is racist why the "chair" agree to pose like that?
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 It's apparently a mannequin, but if it is it's pretty realistic

StanSP Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I guess it's classed as 'racism' because there are connotations of a black person being a slave by performing a 'chore' for the white person? I can't think of any other way. I don't think it's 'racist', as such. Just very ill-informed and totally pointless.
Strokes Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 It's apparently a mannequin, but if it is it's pretty realistic Should have picked a white mannequin, nobody cares what you do to a white mannequin.
DB11 Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I'm normally the first one to think people kick up a fuss over nothing, but that is a bit dodgy
AlphaMaleFox Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Should have picked a white mannequin, nobody cares what you do to a white mannequin.The white one was already picked...http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/jones-chair-t03244
Out Foxed Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 if you thought that was a real person, you need your eyes testing.
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Servant & Master relationship is as clear as day. Just disrespectful to other human beings, not particular pleasant but you'd have to ask her if the race of the other woman was considered to find out if it's racist or not.
Guest MattP Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Some people need some proper problems in their life.
Zingari Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 i think if i removed the seat cushion i could find another use for that chair !
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Some people need some proper problems in their life. Spot on. Fed up of the ease of being a Russian oligarch's trophy wife, she decided to get herself a racist chair. We've all been there
Guest MattP Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Spot on. Fed up of the ease of being a Russian oligarch's trophy wife, she decided to get herself a racist chair. We've all been there She's late on parade anyway. Bruno already did this his "Mexican chair people" - It was so 2007.
Rincewind Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Well at least it diverts people eyes away from other things.
Guest MattP Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Well at least it diverts people eyes away from other things. Absolutely. I was going to do two marathons for Shelter this weekend, a hour at DNO tomorrow, a week at Action Homeless in Feb and Not the Big Snooze tonight but after seeing this picture it's all completely slipped my mind.
Itsthejoeker Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 If there's a white version, what's the issue?
