Saying someone looks like something is not racist

That's not what's happened here. Go back and look again.

Trust me I know what racial abuse is I've spent most of my childhood being told every last story of what it's like for a Jamaican to come to England in the 50s and I can tell you know what you see in this thread is not racial motivated it's a bad tasted joke at most

Making a giant golliwog isn't racially motivated? Are you being ironic?

It is a bad tasted joke racial abuse is when you make deliberate slurs to hurt someone.

He made it for attention not to cause offence

That makes it completely ok and not at all racist then.

It's just not in any shape of form racist.

It is clear he wants attention and everyone is giving it him if he was ignored he would disappear

How is it a gollywog? Does this look like a real reflection of a white person to you?



So now scarecrows have to be identical looking to humans or they're seen as mocking a race?

Who said that is a white person?

You're saying because the scarecrow is black it is a gollywog which are racially derogatory dolls, that is because they do not represent how a black person really looks and the image mocks black features. But when creating a white scarecrow it doesn't have to fully represent white people's features and is therefore not a racially derogatory image. So what I am saying is because you would not say that a white scarecrow is offensive because it does not look like a white person then why should a black scarecrow be racist as it also does not look like a real black person.
