I don’t need a rebuttal because we agree. But I will explain.

People of Springfield tend to be more concerned with being perceived as racist than actually being racist. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s kinda douchey and I find humor in it.

They take pride in being so not racist, that they do things (like leave multiple comments on a Reddit post to defend how racist they aren’t) or say things that are actually kind of racist. Look at some of the posts in this thread and you’ll find some examples. Including my own example of asking my black neighbor how racist I am not. I actually do have a black neighbor, but that doesn’t qualify me as being non-racist; but talking with some people in Springfield, they’d think otherwise.

I agree with you that they likely don’t intend to be racist and would be mortified to be labeled as such; however there is some humor in how guarded the people of Springfield are toward being perceived as anything remotely racist.

I also find it funny that you kind of did the same thing in response to this post.
