When everything is racist, nothing is, even emojis.
For instance, the emoji depicting a red underlined "100" is now somehow racist by proxy, because white supremacist groups also use the term "100%" to mean how white they are, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Donald Trump Jr. shared the image on X:
The ADL is now saying the term 100% is a white supremacist trope. These people are 100% F-ing insane. This is a term used by virtually anyone discussing probability on a daily basis. They will find racism in anything and everything and it needs to stop now! Enough of this BS! pic.twitter.com/C5ZPYVsyE0

Sure, gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood and similar outfits do indeed use gang tattoos with phrases like "100% white" or "100% featherwood/peckerwood." They also use "100% wood" for short, which just makes them sound like a gang of marionettes like Pinocchio.
But just because they use it doesn't mean nobody else should, but that is how insane the anti-racism crowd is.
Groups like the Anti-Defamation League, no matter what other good they have done, seem to have a knack for finding racism in the most innocuous things.
Whether it is the institution of marriage or not adequately accounting for how people's melanin affects oxygen saturation in oximeters or just the fact that you need to take the bar exam to practice law according to the state of Washington, there must somehow be an element of racial animus behind everything.
And those three examples were just in the past two weeks recorded by us at PJ Media.
Over at the satire site The Babylon Bee's sister site Not the Bee, they detailed how the Hole in the Wall Pub in Bodmin, Cornwall, United Kingdom, was stripped of its freshly won Pub of the Year award given by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) because someone happened to notice a 4x1-inch Nazi armband hidden away in the pub, kept as a trophy from World War II, and thus came the cries of racism.
Yes, really. That is the sort of stuff we have to live with when it comes to "anti-racist" activists.
And as much fun as it is to make fun of this sort of thing, the problem is that these people have real power and influence, whether it be grifters like Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X. Kendi getting rich and famous off of it, or elite institutions changing policies to accommodate supposedly "disadvantaged" groups.
Let's not forget crying "RACISM!" can even get 100-plus-year-old monuments torn down, context be damned.
But of course, this does not have to be through an exclusively racial lens, because earlier this March I wrote about how some lady named RimaAnn Nelson at the Veterans Affairs sought to ban the legendary V-J Day Kiss in Times Square photo from VA facilities because it "depicts a nonconsensual act" and "is inconsistent with the VA’s no-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and assault," although thankfully VA Secretary Denis McDonough moved against it.

You really do have to wonder about these people seeing malice in everything and how they can function in everyday life.
