I'm saying I never said most claims of racism are false.
I'm saying there's a lot of racism claims, I don't know if they're false or not since I haven't seen all the episodes.
Unless I've missed something the point seemed pretty simple to comprehend.
Random individuals online posting that a show is racist, doesn't translate into there being a general consensus, or collective claim that the show is racist. If one Googles virtually any combination of words, matches will generally appear, so I honestly just wouldn't see any point to this exercise if almost anyone else had posted it.
Since the "premise" of the game is so pointless and stupid, I presumed the actual point is the same as that on most of your threads regarding blacks, race, etc.: Claims of racial bias are generally overblown, and racism is actually not that big a deal...as the conversation inevitably shifts to how dumb, shiftless, and violent "the blacks" are how they actually kinda deserve it.
You're baiting and you know it.....
Hope this post clarified my viewpoint for you.
One of my favorite programs is the PBS News Hour, which I somehow doubt is accused of racism by anyone who watches it. If it is racist, I'm fairly sure it would come as a surprise to its anchorwoman.

No. You google search a few in a row with no racist accusations then you win.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Enjoy yourself, chico.
You're correct that individuals posting an opinion online doesn't mean there's a consensus.
But obviously not just any words will make relevant searches.
As some people on here who did the challenge have shown that not every show has had any claims of racism put against them. And several people have completed the challenge.
If you think the game is pointless don't play.
If you think I'm baiting don't be so easily baited.
I was tempted to make the game about sexism and racism but thought it might be too difficult to find a show that has had no accusations of either, now I'm thinking I might be wrong.

Obviously, "racist" isn't even a binary thing, and having a system where we are only deciding yes/no is terribly useless and can be positively harmful.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
I searched firefly thinking that would pass. Nope.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Bullshit. I can type in almost any two words and come up with several hits at least as 'relevant' as the random shit posts you're referring to.

Clearly, I have no interest not playing. Don't care if others played and won, or not.
I'm just calling you out your actual point. The games's not the purpose of the thread.

You know you can make jokes about almost every taboo. The secret lies in how you do it. Not a great many have the ability and the talent though. The first instance I personally remember was Rex Kramer; Danger Seaker in Kentucky Fried movie.

I typed "Bottom racist" and the TV show didn't even come up. Because "bottom" is such a common word.
Because I followed the rules of your game and because nothing came up about my show I win anyways because loophole and because I play to win within the rules
That a pretty legitimate way of doing it but that's still not 3 in a row.
I tried bottom rik mayall racist and couldn't find anything. I think bottom will be in the clear.
