Complaining Blog

I know I'm a teensy bit racist. And I don't even care, because I just read an article about how angry people were at a fabric designer who draws images of her own childhood on her fabrics for not including more people of color. Um... if she didn't have any people of color present during her childhood then why would she depict them in drawings of her childhood? And who the hell cares?! Why would anyone care what she puts on her fabric? If (fill in race here) don't like it because it doesn't have (whatever race) people on it then they shouldn't buy it! It's totally racist of them to expect her to alter her art to suit their race!

Jeez. I swear it's like if we don't all act super guilty for being white then we're doing it wrong. Well guess what? Now I'm offended that there aren't any white people on my Chili's menu! And I'm offended that the Wal-Mart commercials don't have any white people in them! (Ha ha... probably cause the Wal-Mart doesn't have any white people in it. They all shop at Target.) Why isn't my race being represented in a positive way?!?! See how stupid it sounds?

The thing is, if people of other races want to see themselves represented on fabric, or whatever, then make it happen! It's not up to the fabric designer to make sure that whoever's niece looks like the girl in her fabric. I hope her next fabric is of a giant white butt mooning everyone. Take that racists!
