This seems so perfectly passive-aggressive, as this can always be walked back as "oops, didn't even notice that... I don't even think like that. I didn't see race, I just saw a cute kid wearing an adorable shirt!"


I've concluded that we will never be free of blackface. I randomly saw this photo while googling:

Just too many loopholes.
