But obviously not just any words will make relevant searches.

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.

Quote: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.

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.

It's a dog whistle.

It's not bullshit. I'm saying people are coming up with tv shows that have no hits of any relevance with being accused of racism.
And that's true.


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.

Impersonation is treason.

No. You google search a few in a row with no racist accusations then you win.

Well, you only find funny clips from the show about race and people talking about how it's an example of a show that often made race jokes whilst not coming across as racist. And people talking about completely different things using "scrub" as a verb.

RE: Your favourite TV show is racist challenge.
As for my second favorite show, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the very first episode of the series is literally titled "The Gang Gets Racist". So I'll leave that one alone...

Okay. That statement was in response to your claim that you can't search random words and get a number of posts.

I'm saying more often than not, you can. 
And I was also suggesting that random posts on random bloggers' web pages aren't as significant as you believe to be.


If you're going to bother to respond, you could at least pay attention.

How significant do I believe random bloggers web pages to be? Where did you get the information to what degree I believe random bloggers web pages to be significant?

I agree the Internet is a vast array of opinions which is why I imagine it's difficult to find a tv series that hasn't been accused of racism, hence the challenge.

It's so overused that it sadly has become totally meaningless for something to be called racist. I think we would be better off having the word racist meaning something of substance. I think it needs to invoke imagines of hoods and burning crosses and hitler. Instead it's meaning has been expanded to the point that every tv is considered racist. The meaning has become so broad that it mostly invokes eyerolls. Even Islam will call people 'racist' for opposing a religion.
It's the Syndrome of our times...

You're the one that created a thread around it.
 
By suggesting that practically every show in world has been accused of racism, as if part of a collective opinion or a movement, when you know damn well that many of the claims are made by a handful of random individuals. Yet, you run with it, in your 'light-hearted' attempt to demonstrate that claims of racism are frivolous and overblown.

It's total bullshit. 

And dishonest as Hell.
